Then you should come study Birdie @dersnec - an indigenous rock pigeon raised by my neighbors, that somehow latched onto me, maybe as the first male that didn't shoo her away..who knows!?

Anyhow, it is not only territorial matters, where chasing even stray chickens many times her size happens, that is of her concern. She comes in daily for some cooing and wooing, which just isn't complete without a warm and friendly eye-fluttering cozy cuddle under my hand.

Absolutely amazing the correlation between her elementary behavior patterns and that of humans - too much tot talk about here!

Wow that sounds fun! Birds in particular have really fascinating behaviours, especially when it comes to relationships with humans. I'll definitely check it out!
