Oh
look - what a surprise - it's a pigeon ! Actually, my next few shots
are about a specific pigeon who paid me a sad farewell visit on
Valentines' Day 2016. I glanced out at the pigeon sitting in my tree
and dumped a pile of seed and suet food onto the sill for it. It
didn't look too well and at first I assumed it was a bit battered by
the winds and rain of late and in need of shelter and food.
The
food definitely attracted this wood pigeon to my windowsill where I
assumed it was eating - until I looked again.
It
continued to keep its head bowed low, but there was none of the noise
that generally accompanies such feeding activity in birds - such as
the scuffling, pecking, fluttering...
...in
fact it barely moved. It tried to eat, but I now noticed that each
time it pecked up a seed, the seed fell from its mouth. This is when
I realized that there was something seriously wrong.
This
VIDEO shows what I was seeing better than the photographs.
Oh, that's really sad. He wants to eat, but he can't. :(
ReplyDeleteI can guess what happened to him. :(
yeah - the next post tells all...
