I normally put out seed for the birds around 3 or 4 pm each day. They love sunflower seeds and also the bird seed I put on the tray.
While I was sitting in the garden this morning having a cuppa, I spotted this crested pigeon picking on the remains of the seed from yesterday afternoon.
Only the husks of the sunflower seeds were left. The pigeons are definitely at the bottom of the pecking order, as the lorikeets and corellas chase them away.
This beauty doesn't look exactly starving though so I am sure he finds plenty to eat.
Fav. Gorgeous close up shot of this beautiful bird. The colours on his wings are so person and lovely. Does he use some gel to keep that pointed part over his head straight and steady?
Oh I would love one of these pidgeons to visit my garden. he is beautiful, some of ours have lovely iridescent colours but need to look closely to spot them, this guy clearly stands out FAV!
I think they have plenty to eat as they gobble up very quickly the seed dropped to the ground!

The crested pigeons are multiplying at a great rate in our garden so they must be well fed. all the birds who visit have got me really well trained.
