Scooby

Tony you have described him so well, I can picture him,lol, the pigeons are so clumsy sometimes but oh so comical, we have them living in the hawthorn at the bottom of the garden, they spend ages walking around our garden when the dogs are inside or in the run.
Be nice if Scooby does return but remember the golden rule " Don`t feed him your good lady`s eclair" lol, I think its good to have a chat to our garden visitors, I s`pose my nieghbours either think I`m chatting to myself or have flipped, not sure what the birds think but they cock their little heads and the ones that come onto the patio are always looking in the window, perhaps they think I`m barmy as well, lol.....
You take care and enjoy your garden.....

Hi Tony,

We used to have a female Blackbird, who came when she was called. I named her Nobby - Naughty Old Black Bird - as she would attack any other bird who came near, when she was feeding. It became a sort of party trick, when we had visitors - they couldn't believe that a wild bird would come when she heard her name called LOL.

For the last 8/10 weeks, we have had 2 Ducks visiting several times a day ( Florence & Laurence), but l think that they are taking things a little too far - last week, they brought their 2 mates with them (Maurice & Doris).

Of course we also have Philip the Pheasant and his understudy Peter.

Kind regards, Josie

That's a lovely wee tale, Tony! He knew you wouldn't do him any harm, and were a soft touch on the feeding front, and, as we know too, a lover of all things feathery!
It's surprising how many street pigeons have deformed feet, they say it's car pollution, with them being so near to the exhaust fumes while they're wobbling around on the pavements. I haven't seen any podiatry challenged wood pigeons though, he must have broken it when he was a little chick-a-dee! Hope he does bring his wee mate back with him this year to visit you, and sure, if his wee leg's still bad...he could borrow Capt'n Tiny's pirate crutch to help him about while he's staying with you on his hols! You take care this weekend, and remember to have fun!!

hi lincslass If Scooby makes an appearance then i will have my camera handy. Looks a bit odd having to keep bringing a saucer of crumbs out incase he visits (LoL). Don,t really go for Pigeons but scooby is cheeky and i find that unusual. No eclairs now Lincslass,its either fig bar or rich tea. And that is as long as my goody tin is,nt looted. Take care enjoy Tony

hi kapper 5502 Blooming heck Nobby the blackbird, Florence and laurence the ducks and maurice and doris then phillip and peter the pheasents sounds like Jack sparrows crew (LoL). You must have a ball when they visit. Take care enjoy Tony

Hi elizabeth and its a high from Tiny also. Scooby also has a black dot on his brow elizabeth its another mark i use to define him. Poor devil i bet he is an out cast wood pigeon . I hope he comes though as i have my camera and saucer of crumbs ready for him. Tiny is talking away to my num lock key as i type. I wonder if i could prompt him to walk the plank(LoL). I don,t really go for pigeons elizabeth but scooby well he is differant . Lucy got trapped in the gate today. A saucer of milk soon got her out. Fun night tomorrow and monday elizabeth so will not be on line ,but on tuesday as arnold said "I will be back". Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend and i hope you have good weather also.
