The other night as I was cooking dinner Mr wood pidgeon arrived for his evening feed of my Kowhai tree. They have almost demolished the top half of the young spring shoots and all other foliage. They just sit and eat...moving carefully down each branch and trying not to fall off as the branches really bend under there weight. They are almost the size of a small bantam chicken and hop from branch to branch. I got about 2 feet away from him and he didn't seem to mind. My cat hurley has his eye on them though....thought he could
camoflague himself and have pidgeon for dinner...it was really funny watching him edge closer and closer up the tree towards the bird! It just sat there munching away happily not paying any attention to the cat. The bird left with a full belly and not the cat! . I didn't know they actually eat the flowers too till I saw him scoff a couple down, but much preferred the leaves .
