No you Don't

The whole idea of my new bird feeder right outside my window was to photograph the lovely little birds that hop on an off the metal tree.

I wasn't expecting a Jumbo Jet when I had planned a light aircraft display, I think your getting my meaning. Just inches from the glass window this pigeon was shuffling around on the branches to get in the position where he could pinch the seed.

I walk right up to the glass before he flew off and I then noticed him on the roof ridge of the house opposite, just waiting for me to disappear. I soon ruined his craft tricks by removing the metal branch where he could sit and reach his lunch. If he arrives again he may end up as my next lunch.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and FAV's, hope you weren't singing the sound of music all day.

But you got a great shot of him :) Mockingbirds play that role at my feeders.

Super capture, FAv!

[Deborah McGavock]

What a threat! They are very determined birds, but this one is a real poser. Great capture and story.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Super shot.

Made me laugh!!! Unfortunately, the big ones do not recognize dainty feeders and will do everything in their power to get the food! Nice capture and POV.

[Rosie Kind]

I know what you mean - they are greedy and they're not even gannets! Nice capture - Fav

[Bep]

Made me smile. Love your picture.

[carol white]

[Diana Moss]

[Phil Cameron]

Better buy a big bag of seed next time , Party at Heather' s !!!!!!!

Great shot of the pigeon. I have jackdaws that balance on the pole to take seeds out of the feeder and go into the hens run to eat their food

[Ivan]

Nicely taken - but can't stand wood pigeons!

[Candace]

Lol, jumbo is hungry too Heather!

[Janiskay]

He is definately a handsome pigeon. They can be a nuisance.

Thank you for all your comments and FAV's, you will be pleased to know he did come back last night and after scrambling all over the metal tree, he gave up because he couldn't reach any seed.

Lovely shot of the pesky bird Heather. We have the same problem and i have a hanging flat seeder that they can't manage to land on. I thought I'd defeated them until I spotted them flying into it and knocking it so hard that the seed fell of then they ate it off the floor. Pigeon pie I think.

[John]

They are canny birds indeed, Heather. Great capture of this one!

[Nina Ganci]

brilliant capture of this Jumbo Jet! love your commentary. Glad he is now staying away. I am sure your little light aircrafts will enjoy the seeds in peace now
fav
