Default Thanksgiving Pigeon Pics!

I love my boys! Seeing them is usually the best part of visiting home!

Handsome Mollie


My Mira Angel


Stretching his wings



Can you spot both boys??


Mira is constantly following Mollie- he can't get a moment of peace!


A rare "getting along" moment



Mollie has had enough


But Mira-the-pest isn't done with him!

A bit of feather rearrangment


Mira following Mollie again...


Poor Mollie coming to Mommy to rescue him!


Pretty Mira in the sky




What happens when nobody intervenes quick enough (don't worry, nobody was hurt!)...


Going back home (to their cage), Mollie in the lead with Mira close on his tail


A few pics from a couple weeks back:
The boys bothering fat Sophie


The friendly pigeons with my mom's cousins


Mira went in for the kill but Mollie was too quick- Mira got a beakful of human scalp instead!



Mira is the instigator now- poor Mollie knows he has the weight disadvantage and is now only concerned with protecting his territory. He defends his side of the cage constantly. He spends less time flying now, and more time strutting and pacing in front of the cage door, wanting to be let back in lest Mira take it over.

So its safe to say Miras the bully now?
TSK TSK, I thought you would have taught him better than that....
It was sure nice of you to provide updated pictures, both are wonderful.
Hope you don't mind me saving the pictures in my album.

Mollie has to be getting up there in age, I sure hope Mira doesn't hurt him.
That would break my heart.

Arty,
Yes, Mira is definitely the bully now! I tried to teach him some manners, but he just won't have it! Of course you can take whatever pictures you want.
Mollie will be 10 next summer. He's getting old, but it's not really noticeable. Mira won't ever hurt him, we won't let that happen. There is no way for them to get to each other in their cages, and they're only let out together when we're nearby. Plus, Mollie is a much better flyer so he has that big advantage.
