1. LOL Yes, for some reason our wood pigeons come with huge bellies as well. Yours are prettier though. I guess that’s what makes them so cute and adorable. ??

2. Beautiful, I love the color of the wood pigeon.

6. I had pigeons to care for when I was young. Learning to care for them taught me responsibility. It was a good lesson, but they could dirty a cage up lol. Great photo!
