Pigeon Release

After 10 days the young injured Pigeon given to me by young girls has finally been released today. I kept it in the house for several days , then outside in the Aviary. I opened the door and allowed other pigeons to go in and feed on the scattered seed, and the young pigeon followed them out. It flew onto the aviary roof and then joined the flock when they took off and circled the town centre. The injured left leg is now fully functional - nice to get a good result again.

Free as a Bird

A dozen Goldfinch were on the riverside today, not in the best position for good pics though.

As for the pigeons...

After some rest and preening, I left the door of the Aviary open this morning for the two young pigeons to leave. When one of the local feral pigeons came in and basically showed them the way out ! They flew out on top of my house, then joined a group across the way. They are both free.
