Painting (FIRE FIRE) & Baby pigeon (Frankie-3 weeks old)

At last, I’ve finished that painting I’ve been working on since March.
It just sat there on top of my currently non-functioning speakers for the last few weeks waiting for me to finish the dreadful details and yesterday I finally got it done.
The story sort of goes like “FIRE! I go out the window, you take [...]

Fly Carlos Fly!

Who is the lucky lady who is proud to present her personal best pigeon-in-flight photo yet? That’s right, a lot of ladies, but this is my blog so today it’s me!;)
This was the result of my attempt at communicating with Carlos today but I don’t think I did it right, unless this means “Follow me, [...]

Cats ‘n birds

I bring new pictures, only not of Frankie because the last few (rather sunny) days he has been sitting in such a well covered spot, that I can only see a bit of his side and tail feathers.
Well, only if I get on all fours and am almost lying on the concrete, so that ’s [...]

Frankie the Hatchling – week 2

Not a lot to report on Frankie today, except that for a moment I thought someone had stolen him when I didn’t find him sitting in the spot he’d been sitting the past 2 weeks. See, what else is a girl to think? Makes perfect sense that I thought someone had climbed six floors up, [...]

Frankie the Hatchling – day 13

So, Frankie and I had fun today; I made fun of his hair, he just looked at me; I told him how I have a dentist appointment this Wednesday; he just looked at me and after that we sat together in silence for a while.
Either he’s a good listener or he’s just very bored with [...]

Frankie the Hatchling – day 11

I didn’t think Frankie had changed this much since yesterday’s post, but his feathers have grown considerably since then, from a hint of such to something you can actually call feathers. And he’s starting to lose more and more of that yellow fuzz.

Frankie the Hatchling – day 10

Hey look at that, Frankie is starting to look less like a Beatle. I’m not completely satisfied with this photo, I tried various lenses and settings but I just couldn’t get the shot I wanted, but at least it shows the 10th day, where his feathers are starting to make a small appearance, after the [...]

Frankie the Hatchling – 8 days old

Frankie tried to stand up today, I assume to try and get away from me. Can’t blame him, if I was as tiny as a pigeon’s foot I’d want to run, too. But his legs couldn’t hold him for more than a second.

Original size here.
He was facing the wall, so unfortunately I couldn’t snap a [...]

Frankie the Hatchling – 6 days old

This is from Monday (Apr. 14) but my computer and Photoshop make for a very slow combination so I put off posting it right away.

I think I like it better taking Frankie’s picture from the front instead of from above, or better, I should just take photos from several angles. I should use my head [...]

Frankie the Hatchling – 4 days old

Finally, the photo we’ve all been waiting for! Or was it just me? But here it is, the latest addition to our balcony: Frankie the pigeon, 4 days old!

I don’t know if the other egg has hatched yet, I don’t think it has and I have no idea if it still will, but YAY FRANKIE.

Papa-pigeon ruins photo

Lately I’ve been noticing 2 pigeons hanging out on our balcony and seen them in the corner where a previous pigeons’ nest had been, so I was hoping they’d stick around to make babies but I didn’t keep a close eye.
And today (Tues. Apr. 8th) I walked out on the balcony after I saw a [...]
