Katy -- Sacramento

This beautiful white bird has been living in my very large Deodara Cedar trees for about six week. Is it a dove? A pigeon?


The bird is about 12" head to tail, has fairly meaty legs and about a 2' wingspan. It flutters like a dove from tree to tree, and loves dove food.

Very friendly, cautious with my dogs.

Is there a platform we can build for it in the tree? What can we do to make her feel safer and more at home in our yard?

We lost 'Miss Pigeon' last week to a large owl. I had several safe zones for miss pidge, but she stubbornly flew around my yard in full command? I always feared that an owl would prey on her as the owls in our large trees are very active at night. I am not angry ut i miss my soft, gentle and sweet pigeon,

 could be a pigeon

This could be a pigeon. Although rare, I have seen white ones. They are used to people and can be trainable. There are people who keep them as pets.

    A relative went to HB class. They found it is safe and more effective to use 2 water to 1 sugar. I use 4 cups of boiling water into 2 cups sugar.
