    Trapped

    When I think of pigeons, I think of peace. But looks like when it comes to food, they're just as aggressive as anybody else. Here is one trying to get fed from a bird feeder. And it wasn't the only one trying. Their size alone made the chickadees get out of the way.

    Nice unique look, AE

    It reminds me of a busy buffet line - you know, when there is a small gap that forms in the line and someone decides that they can't wait in line like the rest of us and wait an extra minute or two.

    What's a Loupe for anyway?

    It almost looks like he has his head stuck.

    AgingEyes, that is a very interesting image. I would never have thought they would come to a feeder - don't know why I would think they wouldn't - just me. I assume all the smaller birds were intimidated by his/hers presence.

    What do you have in the feeder that it would come for?

    Cheers,

    That's different. I have never had any pigeons at my feeders, other than mourning doves.

    That was not my feeder and so I don't know what was in the feeder. Probably the usual bird feed I guess.
