Every morning, a group of pigeons gather on the branches of the Honey Locust tree, directly outside my window.
The reason they gather there is because some time ago, I threw some leftover bread crusts out on the fire escape to a lone pigeon that was sitting there.
He must have told the other pigeons because the next day, there they were...on the branches, waiting for me to throw some MORE bread crusts!
Along with any leftover bread crusts, I also feed them leftover seeds from my cockatiel's seed bowl. They seem to love it.
I enjoy growing something every spring/summer. It makes me feel a part of the whole "spring meaning new life" thing. So I threw some Quinoa in some soil about a month ago, after finding out online that Quinoa is not a grain...it's a seed. They must really be seeds because tiny plants are growing now...lol. Sometimes I pluck them out and feed them to Too-Too, my cockatiel. He seems to love them.
So this is my first official post...if you're reading it, I thank you very much for taking the time. Well, I mentioned a dog I have...lol. Shadow is her name - a pitbull, but a kind, funny and wonderful dog because that's how she was raised. I have a cockatiel too, named Too-Too. Too many "Too's". But I'll get to him later. Here is a pic of Shadow taken today. We had the a.c. on because it went up to the 90's today in NYC and she was taking her nap with her blankie.
