Having said that! He would be MUCH much MUCH more beautiful about 300 miles away! This is who decided to camp out on our fence this morning.... GRRR he is SO maddening! He has killed so many songbirds now in OUR yard... that I just want him to go away!. .. Soooo..... I marched outside this morning with my hands up on my hips and had a very polite conversation with this handsome one... It went a little something like this: " ...

I was outside setting up the baths for the birds in my aviary. Several came out to take a dip. 2 males, Hans and Petey, played hooky from nest duty for a while to bathe. After a few minutes, the birds were laying spread out in the sun to dry off. Then Hans, looking up, stiffened and gave that grunting alarm cry they do when seeing something threatening. The other birds looked up alarmed. I tried to see what they saw but could not. I moved away a bit to get out from ...

I'd like to post it here, in the predator discussion forum, as well. The speed alone, that these birds are capable of is incredible. Realizing each species had it's own means of survival, I hope my pigeon prayer holds true.

Wild Birds & Mites Mites can be found on any pet bird or avian species. Mites spread from bird to bird as flock members make body contact. Contrary to what many people still believe, those metal round Protective Mite Killers you hang on the side of a bird's cage are toxic. They do in fact contain an insecticide; however, it is very doubtful they would kill any mites. They just might kill your bird. Not recommended! ...

They are deadly. A couple of years ago I was told that there was a fledgeling dove on the ground near my office and that flies had been crawling over her. I picked her up, took her home and did a quick check for injuries and fly eggs. I didn’t find any. The next morning I checked her again before ...
