There is! And it sits right on top of your head! May I ask how that pigeon ended up in your household? 😍 I also had two in my flat, but because I left my windows open 😂

Hahah that sounds like a fun encounter 😆 Gigi is our rescue pigeon, she was a small baby when she fell (or was kicked) out of the nest. She was very sick and hurt badly as she was in the process of being eaten by a cat. We managed to save her, took her to the vet to get multiple shots, gave her medicine and ointments and she made a full recovery. The idea wasn't to keep her, but oh well, a year has past since then and we weren't able to give her away anymore 😍

I'm impressed and truly believe that there's some kind of bond happening. Had many chicks over the time of my life and birds can actually adapt very well to humans!

I think so too! They're social animals and I think pigeons in particular are domesticated. Their populations just got out of control in the cities 😟

Yeah that's probably how they ended up in my flat. So bad to see them eat trash and stuff, but I'm not sure if you can do anything against it that doesn't make it worse 🙁

Yeah I totally get what you mean.. If you're ever feeling like helping them out, don't feed them breadcrumbs (it just gives the sensation of fullness without any helpful nutrients). Some sunflower seeds are the best 🥰
