Georgie our blind pidge loves hide & seek

Our pigeons have free reign over our flat , which Georgie makes good use of. We normally find her sat in the corner of the kitchen, or bathroom in total darkness.

Today however, after not having seen Georgie for awhile we went to look for her. Bathroom, no, Kitchen, no, Bedroom, no, Hallway, no, hmmm, Living room, no.... hmmm Bathroom sink, no, Bath, no, toilet, no, bin, no, etc... etc...

After an hour of frantic searching I noticed a hole around pigeon size under the toilet pipe leading under the tiled bathroom sink... then the faint sounds of pigeon footsteps... 15 mins later the bath is in pieces and my arms reaching behind the sink.

NOW she thinks of cooing... not while we were searching for her, jolly no.

Blind pigeons really do play hide and seek well...

PS. We've just moved into our new flat, and we never knew this hole existed!!!

no wonder you were frantic...so glad you found her
hope your bathroom isn't in too much of a state now

i had a rat years ago who free-ranged as long as i was home
she would sneek through the door to the hall and hide upstairs
i would then spend 1/2 hr walking about shaking the biscuit tin and calling
knowing full well where she was but she always gave me the slip
eventually i would return for the umpteenth time to the spare room & find her square in the middle of the bed...laughing at me

We're very relieved to have found her. We searched the whole flat and were calling her name over and over but we just couldn't find her. There's not many places a semi-blind pigeon can lose herself in.

That's so lovely to read. I love rats and they are so playful and full of humor! I've had 2 males and 2 females in the past but now have my flying rats!

We were half expecting Georgie to do the same thing. To just turn up in the living room acting like nothing happened!

What a fright!!
I am so glad Georgie was spotted and that she is OK.

oh my! just saw the pic of your bathroom...oops

So glad that you found Georgie and that she was unharmed.

We had a cat that got up into our ceiling in one of our upstairs rooms and couldn't get down so we had to rip most of the ceiling down to get it. :eek:

...I know what you went through. My former husband took the furnace duct work apart because we thought out house sparrow had gotten into it. It is such a frantic feeling. I'm glad she is ok.

Oh my!

I'm so glad you found her safe and well, but the destruction!!! Hope there aren't any more exotic hidey-holes for her to get into!

Once the bathroom is fixed up, you will both be about this and so will we.

The bathroom is all back together again. Just a few screws to get the side of the bath off. :( Happy to have our Georgie back
