This wood pigeon had been blown from its nest during a gale and was rescued and hand-reared by a local man until he was ready to be released back into the wild.
Seven years on, the wood pigeon still greets the man on his daily walk and stops for a chat and a treat.
Wishing you all a blessed Sunday and a peaceful week ahead,
with love from Xenia xxx

Thank you so much for your kind words dear Ju-Lyn 🧡 My impression is that most birds have long memories – I’ve seen this with the swans, ducks and seagulls too 🤗💜
