You’ve heard the saying, “A cat among the pigeons”? Della keeps a whole cage of these white homing pigeons just because she likes them. Unfortunately so do hawks. They sometimes catch and kill one but sometimes too they foolishly find their way into the loft and become trapped. Then they get a trip in a pigeon carrier cage to a distant spot from where hopefully they aren’t ‘homing hawks’.
Here is one stuck inside the pigeon cage (unfortunately with one half-eaten dead pigeon and a lot of very frightened live ones).
Here he is in the carrier cage. Leather work gloves were needed to get him there.
He is looking very miffed at the experience.
Here I am letting him out. I tried to edit out my hand at the end of the video. All I succeeded in doing was have two versions of it which is not so bad as the action is pretty quick!
