For The Birds

It was this mural of a pigeon that caught my attention but as I neared the garage it was the sound of a lot of birds cooing from inside that was intriguing. Then I noticed the little screened in area to the right of this pic a realized that this belonged to someone with a rather large flock of pigeons. I always assume that the birds you see flying around are wild but maybe a lot of them are owned by bird fanciers.

    It's a beautiful mural Pat, if it is a pigeon fancier the mural is perfectly placed ✨

    How interesting. I haven't seen a place that keeps pigeons for a very long time.

    A lovely mural and a great find. I'm sure these must ave been racing pigeons, a lost art in my opinion.

    Maybe these pigeons are delivering messages but that would be very rare, indeed. :)

    Lovely mural. Keeping pigeons is an ancient hobby, and as Penelope said, they were once useful in communicating. They just have to avoid hawks and falons.

    I like the colors on this mural. I don't know anyone who keeps pigeons. I know they used to.

    You asked about Covid-19 here in SD. There are now 100 cases, but so far only one death. I suspect there are few test kits available, and we are practicing common sense. So far, so good.

    Real and virtual. Interesting! When I was a child we had a neighbor who kept homing pigeons on his roof. It struck me as odd because the city was overrun with messy wild pigeons.

    A colourful mural Pat.
    Didn't people still kept pigeons.
    We have doves that visit us to see the seeds I put in the bird feeder and sometimes to nest on our lemon tree.
