It was a brilliant day, wasn't it? And it's always interesting to meet people you've been corresponding with (you get an image and it's always different in person). In this case there were no disappointments - just lots of great new friends. (Except you are much more shy than I expected you to be, Sandy <vbg> <vbg> vbg>)

Hi Darren

A very pretty pidgeon<g> thanks for remembering.

sandy · 08-07-2006, 08:37 PM

Are there plans for a pair to mate?

Sandy
very much so these birds are classed as endangered and are part of an international breeding programme.
The bird in the picture is the hen she is sitting now on an infertile egg the male is in quarantine and will remain there for 30days after which he will be introduced to the female and with a lot of luck and good husbandry little pheasant pigeons will appear within the next few months
