He / she is back .... I'm not sure which one is in the bath , whichever one it is wouldn't let Fudge in and was pecking at him to keep him away ... poor Fudge ......

They are lovely, the doves we get are the standard collared ones, no white ones yet.

Lovely photo they don't believe in sharing then

Are they white fantails Amy? I always fancied having a dovecote on a stick and having white fantails. Unfortunately my garden is too small:-( I should love to have your visitors though:-)

Thanks all , Snowball has had Fudge as a friend for ages Jacque but this last couple of weeks he has been calling out for a mate , Fudge has had his nose put out on the arrival of this new fantail mate !
Yes they are Fantails Bornagain , Snowball flew into our garden a year ago last September and stayed ,fudge also came and stayed ( he is a racing pigeon ) they have been good friends since .. they are very tame ...

They are lovely, we have a dovecote in the garden, hubby has always wanted one so last year we bought one, would love some doves to go with it, hoping the collared ones will use it........you are lucky to have them in your garden.

Amy, I wonder where he came from, isn't it amazing? Dotty, I'm sure you can buy fantails, i knew someone years ago who had all differently coloured ones. Maybe you could buy a Mr &Mrs and start your own little family:-)

I think we are very lucky to have such lovely birds in our garden DD and to have stayed here for so long , I have no idea where they came from Bornagain I'm just happy for them to stay they give us so much pleasure :o)

Poor Fudge. I'm glad Snowball has a mate but hope you will find one for Fudge too :)
21 Jan, 2010
That would be nice Gee , they haven't pushed Fudge right out he was sitting on the summerhouse roof with them , the stranger left in the afternoon leaving Snowball and Fudge together again ........
21 Jan, 2010
Oh, poor Fudge Amy.......that's a good idea Gee, Maybe you could get another, so theres 4 of them?
21 Jan, 2010
Perhaps you should try putting an ad in the Lonely Hearts column, Amy :)
21 Jan, 2010
LOL Gee I could imagine the reply, I am Cake, between us we could make Fudge Cake lol haha
21 Jan, 2010
Aww feel so sorry for Fudge, but it maybe just aBrief Encounter and Fudge will have Snowball back to himself again!
21 Jan, 2010
It would be perfect if we could encourage another racing pigeon for fudge Janey ..I like the idea of the lonely hearts column Gee ... ... sixpence do you think they would be queueing up for crumbs to share ..! Carole I think once Snowball has had his romantic moments he will turn back to his faithful friend Fudge .. :o) A birds life is soo difficult ... LOL.......
21 Jan, 2010
Lol Amy I think they would, ther other two would be their best friend then lol.
21 Jan, 2010
Oh Amy...poor Fudge does look put out.He is a tough one though...struggling in all that weather ! Sure he will "sit it out " !
22 Jan, 2010
Yes Ray , I think he will .. this is all very odd , Snowball sends out his mating call in the morning , along comes this bird which then spends the morning or sometimes the day it then goes off again leaving Snowball and fudge together again , We haven't seen it today at all ......
22 Jan, 2010
Hmm...strange goings on.Somehow think this may turn out to be one of those on/off relationships...with Fudge refusing to budge !Lol (And why should...was here first !! Please keep up regular bulletins Amy...this is all very fascinating.
22 Jan, 2010
I will Ray ... . better than a soap on TV isn't it .. ... :o)
22 Jan, 2010
Just thinking that Amy Lol....
22 Jan, 2010
lol reading comments here, i feel for fudge, poor thing, as long has he doesnt get hurt thats ok, he just wants some friends bless
27 Jan, 2010
Any more news for us Amy ?
30 Jan, 2010
Not at the moment Ray , the new fantail hasn't been seen since Fudge sat between them on the roof ... LOL .. they are sitting up there side by side at this moment , funny pair :o)
