150309 2731 Pigeons Egyptians first time loose Cleopatra Nile

 I'm so excited. First time in their lives... my 2.5yo Egyptian Swift Pigeons, Nile and Cleopatra, were able to be free outside to explore. They did NOT fly away, walked around for 1/2 hour, mingled with the Chickens and other Pigeons, then went back into the Aviary to their OWN nest. Such a relief. I was anxious to see them fly, but they didn't. I was hoping they'd fly to the deck to see me... maybe next time?
. . I got them last Nov, secured ever since. Did not want to take a chance they'd fly away in the dead of winter. Now I know they feel they are "home".

"Egyptians Discover Water".... Pigeons

150218 Headlines = "Egyptians Discover Water"... Because I deprived them of their daily warm cup of water for a day and a half, the Egyptian Swifts finally got thirsty and discovered the Chickens perpetual water supply. Now my neighbor won't need to fill their water cup everyday while I'm gone. Now I finally have proof they actually did find it and won't die of thirst while I'm gone.
Trail cam comes in handy once again ~:<)
From the video, looks like they were pretty thirsty.
