Yeah, it's like the wood pigeons know they're thick but look, to other birds, due their feathery plumpness, proper hard.

Oh, I just noticed, the blackbirds are still out there gayly pecking away at the topsoil.


Poor worms.

Good lord, I managed to take a picture of the canary, in focus!

There are dozens and dozens of seagulls flying around outside. I've never seen so many in one flock outside of the seaside.

And now they are gone.

Taking with them... who knows what?

I've just seen two jackdaws. I think it's the first time I've ever seen jackdaws.

My little Birdies have got a dose of the cooties! The cages have been steamed cleaned and sprayed with anti-bug spray, all the fluffy bits have been thrown out and replaced and I've put some of that magical anti-bug stuff that goes on the back of their necks. Ooh, it's ivermectin

I've still got a dose of it left, just in case I catch something…

Anyway, have a look at Ziggy with a wet neck, and 16th century ruff

I saw some young pigeons today, you could just see the baby feathers poking through their heads.
