Strange pigeon behaviour

"Sacha" wrote in message ... Does anyone know why wood pigeons lie down in the grass on our lawn? We've seen several of them do it but can't say we've noticed it particularly before this year. It doesn't seem to matter whether the grass has just been cut or not, nor whether it's rained or is dry. They're alone when they do it and often remain stationary for several minutes. We haven't noticed that the collared doves do it, only the wood pigeons, it seems. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk Have a look at:- http://thenaturephile.com/tag/wood-pigeon/ then scroll down quite a way untill you come to a photo of a pigeon doing just what you say. I couldn't see a reason for the behaviour though. Bill This sounds very similar behaviour though I couldn't see any wings extended. Having said that, in those photos, the wings seem kind of 'dropped' not fully extended, so perhaps we wouldn't have seen that from our bedroom window and at a distance. The sun wasn't particularly warm when they were doing this and in fact the last we saw was partly in the shade of a tree. But it may be that they are warming up after cold nights. Lately, the nights have been pretty warm and we haven't observed any pigeons doing this! Thanks, Bill. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
