Oh we have the Speckled pigeon, one I photographed up in the mountains a couple of years ago, unfortunately I have used this photography previously, will share only to show.
A bird that is a bit of a menace if they start nesting in your roof (particularly thatch roofing), very pretty to look at, I have ever seen on the coast.
Photo was used some time ago in Steemit:
I am sure @papilloncharity has these birds in town.
This pigeon is different the ones I used to see around. Thank you @joanstewart!
I am sure you will see more of this one from South African's here.
Her name is "Chee-chee" due to sound that she made as a baby and she liked to sit on Marian's head.
She still occasionally visits here accompanied by her boyfriend 🤣Thank you for the mention Lady @joanstewart and here is a Speckled (Rock) pigeon that we saved and set free very healthy in November last year.
Blessings!
So long as you don't have a thatch roof 😄 they apparently love getting indoors and nesting, up in the berg we were specifically asked not to feed them years ago.
Tell Marian I do like her hairstylist, very impressive!
We don't have a thatch thankfully, as Marian will turn it into a zoo.
And hahaha, her stylist is very famous. She is called Mrs. Water Shower 🤣

Always a good feeling when the bird trusts a human, when free normally do return to say hello again.
Yes indeed, but we don't encourage her Lady Joan and it is good to see that she has become more skittish. Squirry paid the price of trusting humans as she is gone and we don't even want to think about what happened to her. Thankfully 3 of the kids are still around and although Marian feeds them, we don't make any physical contact with them.
The wild belongs to the wild.

Having raised many young birds who have fallen from nests, never caged and let free to fly when ready, it is always a happy/sad moment letting go.
Squirrels we don't have, I would imagine they could become too familiar with adopted families, then not realizing not all is equal become a target for those who do not appreciate nature in the wild.

Love seeing these photos of Marian and CheeChee! 😍
Thank you milady and yes, the photos bring back great memories, especially as she is now free and well.

Very helpful indeed. 🤣
Reminds me my cat Blue, who always wants to help or better to say - to inspect what we are doing. 😀
Hahaha, yeah, animals can indeed be very inquisitive, especially if they think there is something nice for them to eat.
Blessings!
That is a really gorgeous pigeon! Such beautiful colors and markings!
They are pretty, swift in flight with quite noisy wing flap Sadly they are finding themselves more at home in human habitat.
