Pigeon in the cherry tree

Our woodpigeons can’t access the feeders we use … I have seen them try occasionally, but they fail and ‘fall off’ and look suitably embarrassed.

Ours sit on the fence waiting for the goldfinches to land on the feeders and start discarding sunflower hearts that they seem not to be up to their required standard. The woodies then land on the ground beneath the feeders and hoover up all the discarded bits, so they don’t attract rats. Works well here. 😊

Yes my new bird feeder is like that ,or should I say was . It was stolen from my front garden just after the birds got used to using it.

I have dishes on the floor that they all happily share, 2 hanging feeders, and 2 where only small birds can get in. The pigeons and doves are brilliant at clearing up all the spilled seed too. 😊

Then if any cherries survive the birds eat them when they are still green.

Pigeons destroy my salad every year if I forget to net it. Also sundry other young plants. They like any tender young shoots, which is why arable farmers hate them. If it’s one or two of them not so bad, but they can descend in vast flocks, like a plague of locusts.
