Percy Pigeon

12 days ago this racing pigeon appeared in our back garden and fed on the spilt sunflower hearts dropped from the feeders. We thought it would feed up, rest and be on its way but it is still here and seems happy feeding and roosts on a hanging basket metal bracket attached to the house. It has a rubber ring on its leg so must have been in a race. It puffs its chest out and makes a throaty call which means its a male. We therefore named it Percy.

He is quite a good looking bird
