I absolutely adore all pigeons, i use my channel just to show how awesome they are as i feed them in the street. They are soo unbelievably soft, every time i leave my flat about 70+ come flocking to me to land on my arms and anywhere on my body they can perch on, some of my locals call me the pigeon whisperer because im always talking with them. Thanks for showing that bird some love, as they are very loyal creatures and will always remember you for it ❤
I used to feed the pigeons outside my apartment window. Never developed a strong enough bond where they'd be comfortable with me touching them, but had to stop when the building management sent out an email warning about people contributing to the "pest problem". Looking forward to getting my own garden some day and reconnecting with nature.
What a BEAUTIFUL bird. I think Wood Pigeons have some of the most beautiful colors in the "Columba" family. And they are super sweet and make great pets. Same with Rock Pigeons there slightly smaller cousins.
This is lovely, Denise. I have the regular wood pigeons visit my garden and they'll happily bathe and whatever while I'm close by, but I have never been able to feed them or get this close. This is really nice to see.
You should try large nuts their favourite. Tesco luxury nuts £2.10 for a bag that lasts a month. They will fly into your table and then eat from your hand.
I get wood pigeons in my garden and one of them is so cheeky and greedy he has monopolized the tray on the pole feeder and the tray on the ground. When he has gorged himself he comes to the conservative and calls for more ! Honesty, he is absolutely huge. He has also made the bird bath his own....has a splash and sits in the water not allowing the others to come near him. I call him Sir Pigeon although he should be called Farsi ! Love all my birds but he is special.
Denise Parker, Can you please help me. I have a major problem : bought pigeon food thinking that Sir Pigeon and his colleagues might like it.....however, he has not touched it and the other pigeons seem to ignore it too. Wonder why pigeon food is being refused. The brand is a well known one and I bought so much of it, too ! Thanks. PS: Pigeons are clever, picky, crafty and dictatorial ! I love them.
apollonia oh sorry I don’t really know. I wonder whether that food is preferred by racing pigeons instead? Have you tried mixing some with what they are used to? 🤔😊
Denise Parker, Yes, I thought the same. However, it says for wild pigeons. This morning I mixed the usual in their plates. Guess what ? Sir was the first their and I thought I outsmarted him, but no, no, no, he made a real mess and had nearly all except the ' special ' ! Next, collard pigeons came along and were more well mannered. The nappies did eat some. Honestly, I think I spoiled Sir and he becomes silly if he does not get his way. Silly me, I give in and will do as Sir wishes ! Put a separate plate for the non-fussy ones. Well, have to cater for different idiosyncratic individuals just to keep all of them happy ☺ Kind regards and thanks for quick response.
I think they fly far! Does she come particular times? Sometimes I think Early Bird' s been watching me a lot longer than I have her! She's very clever because she quickly worked out no matter how much the dogs barked and threw themselves at our gate, they couldn't reach her. All the other little feral pigeons always panicked and flew off!
i feed one everyday , he comes up to me smiley (i know its strange but literally smiling) but i think he has babies now as he wont come near me and is being very protective and keeps carrying the seeds back and forth, so very exited about that
I know what you mean about smiling. I definitely feel this one smiles too. And I can tell her apart from others even though they often look identical :)
@@pigeonpost yeah, sadly he has been missing for 2 months 😢 When I last saw him he was acting very strange and kept following me around The last time I saw him was when I was getting into the car and he seemed to keep following the car I had an instinct but i just rubbed it off l , sadly I think the neighbours cats got him or he was sick
Oh wow Denise. You are one lucky lady, stroking one - Hahaha, that's so cool. Woodies are very cute & funny. I have a group who like to hang out on my balcony; they come for a drink, preen themselves & chill out. 1 was here the other day & snuggled down in my strawberry planter for 1.5 hours, i couldn't believe it stayed sooooo long. Lol....;-)
These are so beautiful and they look almost identical to the ones we have over here in California 😮 the ones here are called Band-Tailed Pigeons and these also live in the wooded areas like Big Bear 👍🏽
J'aime beaucoup.les pigeons le seul problème c'est qu ils ramènent toute leur famille et copains e t ce n'est plus un ou deux mais 15 sur ma terrasse ..et je n'ai pas le droit de leur donner a manger .....moyennant quoi ....j'ai une amende ..mais je ne résiste pas ...c'est .l'hiver en France et le soir ..je leur donne des graines. Comme le jour tombe ....les gens ne sont pas a la fenêtre et il.fait froid .....ils sont tous là ....très mignons .....ils me connaissent... 💞
To be honest I didn’t set out or try to train her. I just started putting bird food out one cold and snowy winter. And then I noticed this one Wood pigeon kept visiting every day and was waiting for me to go out and feed them. She didn’t seem afraid of me at all and so one day I just put some seed on the ground a bit closer to me, and she took it. After a couple of days I held the seed in my hand, on the ground, and she took that too 🥰 And it continued from there 😊
They may look cute. But they are total psychopaths. Our Vet gave us a Wood Pigeon who had a kiss with a car on the highway. Thankfully the woman wasn't ignorant as many other people are and took the guy to the Vet. After first aid our Vet gave us the bird because otherwise he had to euthanize him due to the law here in Germany. As we take care of pigeons (They are treated very badly in Germany.

After all wounds were healed and the Doc gave us the go, we could release him back. He is regularly in our backyard but he still wants to see our world burn. 😂
Could have been anything, noise, light, something touching it, perhaps wanting to get back to its nest. Strange that a vet should give it to you rather than a registered charity. Try to be a bit more understanding if you want to actually help.

He looks so soft
I am a friend to all pigeons, I put seeds out in my garden every morning and regularly carry peanuts in my pocket when I venture into town.🐦
❤️
Wood pigeons are actually bigger than regular pigeons and doves
They're huge.
I once saw a Wood Pigeon take off with a Nissan Micra.

Jindra Games Tv,
And some pigeons can break a weighing scale. I know one of mine is obese infact, a toddler would call him a turkey !

Wood pigeons are so cute bird's and I love that sound they make as well its makes them more cuter. 😁🥺
Lee Palmer,
Yes the " normal " ones sound lovely however, I have one that sounds like a dictator shouting out his speech and throwing a tantrum !
@@apollonia6656 🤣
Yes I love the sound too. Quite calming ❤️
Pigeons are such precious creatures
oh, she's so sweet
She did come last year with husband and baby in tow. Baby was quite big but hadn’t yet got his white collar 😍
Stop
It’s so fluffy I’m gonna die❤
Haha she really is 😂😍
Love thes bird's.

Yes they are sweet gentle souls. Sadly my neighbour doesn’t agree 😢
A pigeon isn't just the colours we see them off you look from there perspective you will see that they have beautiful colours u will ever see
Bless it’s soul
Why people call animals "it" is incorrect, he/she is not an inanimate object animals are living beings like us they are he or she

Wonderful video 🤍
Nice

Woah the neck was longer than normal pigeons!😮
Cute
4 years later..... Have you become closer? Have it survived cold winther four times?
Is he wild or your pet pigeon?
So cute :3
She’s wild but has become very trusting 😊 I’m still aware that she’s wild though and needs to fend for herself so it’s a delicate balance ❤️
cute
I keep forgetting how huge wood pigeons are.
OMG!! ADORABLE! WANNA KISS THAT CUTIE IN THE BELLY!!!
Fun fact: wood pigeons are part of the pigeon family 😭
Really? Who would have guessed?
Bless its pudgy-wudginess
😂
Love that description 🥰
heavy large XXL 700s 😆 big pigeon
How did she do that I've tried loads of times I've only held them or fed them when there injured.

Ah yes the pigeon here is made out of pigeon
The wood pigeon looks like Boy George when he went through his ‘taboo’ phase
Haha 🤣
This is just like a wood pigeon which my sister took in since it was a baby. Did not know how to feed it? My ma named it Plumpy.
Haha good name 😀
Awww I hope it did well 🥰
@@pigeonpost
Alas, my ma left it in Derby&Notts Pigeon Rescue. Can't be responsible for its wellbeing since we don't have much money to look after it.
@@TheLatiosnlatias02 ah sounds like that was the best thing to do x
Pigeon my favourite ani6
how much time it took to tame/train them for hand feeding ?
To be honest I didn’t set out or try to train her. I just started putting bird food out one cold and snowy winter. And then I noticed this one Wood pigeon kept visiting every day and was waiting for me to go out and feed them. She didn’t seem afraid of me at all and so one day I just put some seed on the ground a bit closer to me, and she took it. After a couple of days I held the seed in my hand, on the ground, and she took that too 🥰
And it continued from there 😊
@@pigeonpost 🌷🙏💟
I ❤ pigeons while 99% of humanity I absolutely hate
Here in Spain we call them torcaces
Ah ok I didn’t know that 😀
She didn't care much for the petting, she just wanted to eat
Well, yes quite probably. But I like to think she loves me too 🥰😂
Clever? I've seen wood pigeons drop their guts in a bird bath, bathe in it, then drink from it and fly off.
🐦😍
looks bigger than any pigeon i've ever seen.
That’ll be all the food she eats 😂
is this pidgy in north london? I hand feed a wood pigeon in alperton wembley x
@@sianevans9063 no we’re in sw London :)
Must be a bad angle 😆
Wait aren’t these species of pigeons not domesticated?
No they’re wild 🐦
So are they doves?
@@soysauceuwu8489 yes they’re part of the dove family and are wild birds 🐦
I lose these birds.
They are very endearing ❤️
Tasty 🍽
wow sure am confused 😐
About what?
please give me one player
They may look cute. But they are total psychopaths. Our Vet gave us a Wood Pigeon who had a kiss with a car on the highway. Thankfully the woman wasn't ignorant as many other people are and took the guy to the Vet. After first aid our Vet gave us the bird because otherwise he had to euthanize him due to the law here in Germany. As we take care of pigeons (They are treated very badly in Germany. Killing them became a kind of National Sport) we said okay. This guy was a pure psycho, banging his head against the top of the box we had to put him in, giving loud warning grunts and trying to attack us all the time. He literally hated us. After all wounds were healed and the Doc gave us the go, we could release him back. He is regularly in our backyard but he still wants to see our world burn. 😂
That is because he had head trauma after being hit by a car.
@@kaiembada Nah, not because of that. They are not used to close encounters with humans.
Could have been anything, noise, light, something touching it, perhaps wanting to get back to its nest. Strange that a vet should give it to you rather than a registered charity. Try to be a bit more understanding if you want to actually help.
Ahh that’s a shame. Maybe he had some bad experiences with humans? Has he mellowed yet? 🐦
@@pigeonpost He's fine, I guess... He looks like any other dove now with regular behavior. I can't really distinguish between them. 😅
Nice
