Meet Birdie

This is Birdie, the racing pigeon that Joules, our most recent HelpXer, befriended a couple of weeks ago. Birdie seems to have taken up residence with us, although s/he seems most interested in the hand outs of chook feed doled out to her/him a couple of times a day. Birdie is quite friendly in a pigeon-ie kind of way and is happy to fly up and sit on your hand or shoulder. Now I know my more purist nature friends will scrunch up their noses at Birdie living with us, but sometimes, you just have to accept that purity can be well just too pure.
I am a tad concerned though that one morning we will find a pile of bloodied feathers, but at least while Birdie is with us s/he is being well fed.
