Pigeons always have such interesting colors.
Thanks so much Carol, there is an air of peace with this type of pigeon.
So cute! Beautiful capture!
Thanks Ellie, glad you like the Kereru, it’s a beautiful bird.
I love the sound they are releasing.
Thanks Elenka, they don’t often sing but you do hear them fly.
I love this, how you didn’t scare the bird is beyond me!
There is a sense of peacefulness with the Kereru. I love this bird. I believe the bird perceives your thoughts and knows a friend when they see one. I believe birds and animals can sense who their friends are and in this case, knew I was not a threat.
He is peeking at you. Love his color. wow
Yes, he is Kim. Wonderful bird.
