The
skies were darkening with another shower approaching, not long after
the light shower had stopped and I had arrived in Worthing. The beach
gang were making the most of Valentine's Day...
...shall
we take a closer look at this pigeon romance...?
Eventually
they decided it was too cold for that sort of thing and got on with
food-hunting again. In flew the funny-colored one to complete the
group. he seemed to remember I meant FOOD.
However,
I did not get any shots of my friends eating the food I had brought
for them. Just ten minutes before the bus left to take me on to my
coffee-meet with friends in Lancing, they approached closer...
...but
not quite close enough to the food itself. I had tossed a couple of
lumps of baked disaster (failed fried rava dosai that I made into a
loaf to save it from the bin) down along with wild bird seed. Alas,
they had missed the food this time - hopefully they found it after I
left them to the beach and went onwards with my journey.
Now
HERE is the link to an article about someone else who feeds birds -
and gets gifts for her trouble. it says crows - but I spot pigeons
and a squirrel in there too....
Aw, bird romance is cute. I guess those pictures would be disqualified from Emma's contest. :D
ReplyDeleteThat's a great picture of the light-colored bird.
They might just be, lol. Yeah that off-color pigeon is one of the beach gang that usually hangs out there, so I know if i spot it the gang's around.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an amazing story about the little girl and the crows. It just goes to show how intelligent birds really are.
ReplyDeleteAgreed - the birds in Australia were like that - they could sense who to trust and would come into our house with us. But British birds do not seem to have that sense as much - or not the local ones. It is great to read stories of other bird-human friendships.
