Sometimes the call of the wild , is just too strong !
I had been giving polly pidge free flight most days , and she would come back each time (giving her a soft releases ) . But today , she flew off , came back and landed on my head , then went high and fast towards the woodlands (metheun).
I waited ... called her ... shook her food bag, and I have left her coop open in case she returns at dusk ! The wild was calling her back home and the urge to go, beats any home comforts .
She flew the nest willingly . Bitter sweet indeed , I raised her by hand , taught her to eat and drink and forage , built her an area inside the big aviary , all the while trying to find, and decide when it was best for her to be solo.
Safe adventures polly , im actually very proud of that pigeon!
