They are each unique in their own funny way, coming and going as they please. Some disappearing for long periods like Benj, whom we suspect is tied with tending her squabs and a new nesting home!

Anyway, we decided to get a bigger plant container to give our pigeons more space. Coincidentally, Sungai Buloh Nursery Lot 54 was having a 'Moving Out Sale' so I said, "Let's go! " We forked out RM80 more or less for sand and planter box. Now, we have a proper spot where we can put lots of seed and water.

When I say pigeon's' , it's really just two or three of the same guys visiting each day. My balcony is like their vacation spot. I enjoy watching them. So much better than watching the idiot box - must be an old age thing.

It wasn't long before Hubs and I started contemplating about a dovecote. I scoured the internet for ideas. Hubs put my suggestions down on paper along with measurements, a drawing was made and construction began soon after! The side doors were something I wanted to make it easy for me to clean out any mess they make.

Before long, we were huffing and puffing to lift the bird house into place. I think it's a great addition to my balcony garden!

It's a nice feeling to see them having fun jumping up and down, in and out of the little house. You know what's surprising? They don't poop a lot so it's been pretty clean thus far. We're not expecting our pigeon buddies to live in the house of course, but if they do, we'd be as happy.
To my pigeons, I say - Whatever floats your boat, buddy!
This is amazing and so interesting. I love pigeons and would never eat these roasted birds in China. I had no idea that they would become regular visitors to our homes if we offered them abundance of food and water. It is surprising to note that they remember your place like those ancient postman-birds. It makes sense now.
ReplyDeleteHow could you recognize all of them to be the same ones who flew there earlier on? I won't be able to tell the different pigeons outside my office.
I was as surprised too. I never thought I'd be enamoured with pigeons one day. There's only four pigeons who fly in regularly - easy to recognise from the different colour feathers and behaviour. They're pretty territorial when it comes to my balcony. No chance of other pigeons coming in without a squabble ..!
DeleteHow cool! And how did you tell that they were the same pigeons? We have bird nests on our roof and they drive my cats crazy when they are flying back home. Poor birds...
ReplyDeleteFrom their different coloured feathers and because there's only 4 visiting me ;) Still manageable. These guys keep the numbers low for me. They get their feathers in a puff if a new pigeon tries to land on my balcony..lol.
DeleteWow! A real pigeon home for your pigeon buddies. Very nice home. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rose. Probably getting carried away with things ..haha..but they're oh-so-cute!
DeleteI love pigeons, Sharon, and your photos of these birds and the houses are beautiful and enchanting.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda xx I love looking at them. They're adorable!
DeleteWhat a beautiful pigeon house. I am sure your pigeons love their new home! It is nice and relaxing to watch the pigeons. I will have a hard time recognizing which is which because they all look the same to me. Have a beautiful day, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy. I guess I will have a difficult time too if there were many but it's really only four guys right now ;) ..and they all have different 'looks'.
