Anyone lost this? On my backstep if it's yours!

So. Just come in through my back gate to find this on my doorstep....anyone missing a pigeon? Not your average bird, well looked after, has got ring etc but bloody thing won't let me get close enough to get details.

It's currently attacking my pots in hope of food. Am assuming due to high winds been blown off course and is knackered. I have chucked some food out on back step (randomly had some milled linseed in...once a Girl Guide, always a Girl Guide Grin) and shut in Sassycat (cos that wouldn't end well...I'd be hoovering up feathers for weeks!!!)...

So...anyone think they've lost something today? Or have suggestions of what I could do with it? Confused

Crikey, hadn't thought of DGazzie....the return! Shock Maybe I should pop to B&Q after work...you know...just in case I need to build a pigeon loft at the weekend? Grin absolutely didn't price-up a hutch at the pet shop when I went to buy her food

Hmmm Sassycat has never caught anything before (other than flies...which she crunches!) but in revenge at the house arrest she might just find her inner tiger!

Is it wrong that I am sat at my desk wishing I had a pigeon-cam so I could check-in with her? BlushGrin

iMegaCam is only £40....

SassynSane · 07/06/2017 12:52

Ohhhh Going....you had to drop that in....

Moved her up to the garden bench before I left so she has a nicer view 😊

Right got 5 mins so will msg her owner about Saturday's pigeon plan of action...hereafter the PP of A...

Grin.

SassynSane · 07/06/2017 14:22

Ok update...the PP of A is go go go go! Owner is v happy. Have sent him this mornings pics...he says she looks really well looked after...he mentioned that he is racing his birds from Wetherby and has said I need to expect half a dozen of DGazzie's friends to join me soon! Shock

He has crossed his fingers she returns ok...I replied that if the MN Mafia has its way she'll be fine....but now am thinking we need a series of drones to keep an eye out for her / take out any hawks om her last leg!!!

Also...be prepared ....I will need LOTS of handholding and unmumsnetty ((((((hugs)))))) this weekend!!!

I'm glad the PP of A is going ahead. I can't believe how invested I am in Gazzie.

SassynSane · 07/06/2017 18:36

Oubliette....think how I feel! Confused She's a pigeon for goodness sake....but I luffs her Grin

So just had this from her owner. This is her usual residence. She's a pigeon of means now...she has her London home and her holiday home with me in the country Grin

I love this thread.
Anyone else remember Marmalade Twatkins' Raven? (Some of those details might not be accurate)

UrsulaPandress · 07/06/2017 20:39

It was Stratters. Mortimer. Turned out to be a girl.

Queenofthestress · 07/06/2017 20:47

Needed this thread after a day like today! Go DGazzie!

NorksAreMessy · 07/06/2017 21:06

I think Marmalade and Stratters are one and the very same?
Buy YY Mortimer...I remember the dismembered tent

EvilDoctorBallerinaDuck · 07/06/2017 21:07

Just checking on Gazzie. 😊

SassynSane · 07/06/2017 21:07

Just tucked up DGazzie for the night. She wishes you all sweet pigeon dreams 💤🐦💜 Grin

UrsulaPandress · 07/06/2017 21:08

Really.? I didn't think so. I thought Marmalade was someone else.

EvilDoctorBallerinaDuck · 07/06/2017 21:09

Night night DGazzie 😴🐦

UrsulaPandress · 07/06/2017 21:10

Wasn't Marms Bupcakes?

NorksAreMessy · 07/06/2017 21:21

Oh bugger, you are right Blush

NorksAreMessy · 07/06/2017 21:22

Apologies all round

UrsulaPandress · 07/06/2017 21:25

Where is the bitch anyway?

SassynSane · 07/06/2017 23:16

It has just struck me I only have 3 sleeps left with DGazzie & 3 good morning's....arghhhh! ....might just stick head out door and wish her goodnight....

Bring her into your bedroom! You can coo together Smile

SassynSane · 07/06/2017 23:50

Don't tempt me Hellon...

Right. Bedtime at DGazzie-towers. Will let you know how she's doing in the morn. Night all!

How weird... I used the grey bird emoji and it's turned into a red bird.
