    hilarious... your pigeons look like little punk rockers!! love the cresent moon in the diving shot as well. and btw, if the clay is too hard to dig up, you could maybe think of putting a hook in the fence with a hanging baskets of plants/flowers for some color... just a thought!

    and raiven! ive never seen a prettier boring old canadian pigeon before! the cream is lovely... and notice how all our birds feet are so much duller than aussie birds? think that is because all the blood is frozen outta our little guys feets...

    Punk Rock Pigeons ... I thought the same thing!

    Baskets are a good idea!

    Not all our birds are pretty ... here's an ugly duckling of a bird ... it's a Masked Lapwing (often called a Spur Winged Plover) and these birds are very common around here. They aggressively defend their young by dive bombing humans and other threats trying to whack you with those spurs you see in this photo.

    Yes I took this when they had young. Yes I got dive bombed ... lots. And I got the bird so pissed that it started diving every human within a 100 metre radius of it's chicks!

    That's what the crows do out here when they have their young....I get dive-bombed by crows every summer to the point that I walk around with an umbrella to pop open when I know I'm in range of a nest!
    Sheesh MA even your crows are pretty!
