Another baby....

What a happy Precious! And no wonder, he got his own way! (Don't let him get hold of the TV remote...)

He's adorable, and I think I'd have done the same thing.

Precious is still so adorable, Robin.

He certainly thinks he's precious!

He's such a bossy boy, even in his cage he coo's. strutts & puffs up to show the other's who's boss!

And even though he has a crossed beak this boy can bite when he wants!

Such a big personality in a precious package.

Well I have proof that Precious is a hen, she laid an egg!

I think baby Toad brought out her maternal instincts!

Oh wow! So Precious is a hen! Now that's a surprise.

Our house Pij Scooter, we are still not sure of what he/she is, as they can often act alike. Thought he was a boy, then we were sure it was a girl. We have had Scooter for 15 months now, and so far, no eggs. I actually am hoping he is a male. That way we avoid any egg problems. Well congrats on having a Precious little hen Robin.

Robin, I'm sure you were surprised

That's exactly how I felt about Little Feathered Feed. She was quite agressive and very teritorial of her space.....I would have sworn she was a male as well..........until the egg!!! I think it was the little stuffed animal I put in the cage. She is still without a mate, but is laying eggs now on a regular basis.

Well atleast now you know and can fix her up with one of those proud males that have been longing for a mate.

Congratulations, Robin!
Just proves again that pigeons are masters at deception, when it comes to gender.

And at where they have hidden another nest! Let's face it, they are sly little things, and often smarter than we are! LOL.

Certainly more calculating.

Only if Toad turns out to be a hen too.

They are very attached to each other right now

Ain't that the truth! Precious was acting just like a male, puffing up & strutting, pushing me around whenever I put my hand in her cage!

Maybe she's just a strong independent female!

So it's Ms Precious?!
I remember the day when I asked the dreaded question, 'How can I tell the sex of my pigeon?', and the answer I got: 'Only a pigeon can tell the sex of another pigeon, and even they make mistakes sometimes...'
Congratulations to Precious on her first egg! I wonder if Toad will turn out to be a boy...

Congratulations, Precious.
