Sunday 19th May we finally released Sheffu the Pigeon after around a month with us.
He had turned into an adult Pigeon and it was time to let him go.
We were amazed how well he flew, considering he'd been in a cage and not much room to practice flying. So to see him fly to the roof of the flats opposite us was quite suprising.
We are happy that he seems to have chosen to stay around our garden and visits everyday to feed from the roof of the Hen Coop, where we put corn to feed all the local pigeons that come here. We get a lot of wood pigeons and Sheffu seems to scare them off to eat from his old pink bowl where we put his corn. So quite a happy ending I think from getting him off Sheffield Station platform, to seeing him mature to a grown Pigeon to take off and return to see us on a daily basis. Hopefully he'll remain safe and visit here for a long long time to come.
