Wish I had s skid loader....

I got two and still would rather have a four wheel drive tractor . Skid loaders are hard on wet ground and belly out a lot. I have to pull mine out from time to time I've had to pull a couple back upright with my truck Don't ask

Been sitting out on the deck with 2 of the young pigeons. I had to remove them from their pen because they were being bullied.
These are the 2 that I had inside and bottle fed for a week, so they trust me.

Those sure look cool.

No risk of them flying off?

And TV outside?

Wow, now I know why everyone thought that was water across the highway from the house in the listing! In real life, it's obviously a fallow field, with the weeds going orange.

Heading towards the creek on the property line.

The girls are building a dam to try to make a swimming hole.

Two days later. There's still a bit of work to do...

They are only 6 weeks old, just stretching their wings. Parents were weaning them, and one ended up on the ground and got attacked by another cockbird, so I put them in a smaller cage alone. I try to get them out each evening so they can work on learning to fly. They can hop a good height, but they didn’t even try to jump off the table.
Haha the tv, it’s a screened-in porch with a roof, the tv came from the nursing home. They bought a bunch of smart tv’s with this silly little remote with barely any buttons, the residents hated them, couldn’t operate them. Somehow we ended up with a couple of them.
The tv also has a remote app on the phone by WiFi. It’s easier to use than this thing

6 weeks old and not flying!! I had a 6 week old squeaker flying with the main flock last year.
Hold one on your hand at shoulder height then drop your hand quickly so B or B has to flap and get the feel of lift. Put your hand back and do it again like a game. That's how I encouraged Doo to fly.
