beautiful Gigi is back with his loft friends now:")

---

gigi has been hanging with the ferals in my back garden for a few months now, and as its started to get colder he started coming indoors of his own accord. one of these times i shut the kitchen door behind him and scooped him up, called the racing association hotline and successfully found his owner in Birmingham! he was ecstatic that this lil dude was alright. turns out gigi is the grandson of a great racing pigeon! i knew he was special by his beauty and athleticism. if he comes back to this area again ill leave him be - he deserves the right to choose freedom over a warm bed and reliable food. but equally he deserves the chance to have those things again after being outside since August!

his owner came to get him on fri night and gigi immediately calmed down at his presence. he was a very polite guest, even chilling comfortably in his crate with the door open on our last day together, but he didn't like me by the end for obvious reasons 😅 nonetheless i miss him dearly and hope hes enjoying the food, warmth, and company ♥️🐦

Any aspects of the STRH breed that you dislike? Mochi has very small feet for her body but I have noticed that that is a common trait among the breed

Honestly, just the bulk.

It's a big, heavy breasted bird.

Not so big that it is suffers in terms of structural soundness, though.

Overall, it's one of the healthier purely exhibition breeds.

The flock picks on him because he is submissive. (Hand-raised pigeons often are)

Seeing pigeons at the beach is the most wild thing to me, like I know they like nesting on high rocky outcrops but at this point it just feels wrong the see them outside of a big city

We had free time in school and I heard someone talking about Jason Todd, the love of her life, and got a little inspired maybe

Sooo here are the first three robins with their bird wing headcanons bc when can I ever pass up a chance to draw birds

I'll draw them all with the wings at some point
