At a bird feeder at our local Wild Birds Unlimited store in the Southern Tier of New York, I saw a little collection of birds this past October 28 underneath their bird feeders.
Among them was a white pigeon.
It's hard to see, but the bird did not have red eyes. So, it's not an albino. In fact, I'm not sure if this is a white rock pigeon or a white dove. I looked online, and these birds symbolize peace and love.
I've seen white and brown pigeons before (including one I saw all the time in downtown Binghamton, New York for a couple of years) but this was a special sight to me.
We all could use some more peace and love in our lives, couldn't we?

...it's a standout.
ReplyDeleteIt is funny seeing a white bird amongst the others, but it is a pretty bird.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect time of year to focus on the Prince of Peace. Have a blessed holiday season.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! More peace and love would change the world...
ReplyDeleteOr save it!
Thank you for the message!
Happy WW!
Aww! nice captures :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a tweettastic week 👍
In high school I had pigeons for a time. A classmate had them. One female was nearly white, white with just one small black spot. Jenny. Chester was the male, and of course they laid eggs! I let the first two hatch. Oh, what ugly babies, you can see the seed they were fed through their skin! When I took later eggs away, she would just lay more, so I ended up hard boiling them and letting her sit on those! They were a lot of work. I think my father was mad I got rid of them fairly soon (finding a good home), he'd built a nice enclosure for them. They are pretty birds. Not native to us.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what kind of bird that is either, but it's pretty.

Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
Always interesting to see the different colors.
ReplyDeleteLook like they enjoying feast together.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Its so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Our friends who farm about a mile from us had 5 or 6 white pigeons arrive maybe 30 years ago, now they have 40+ who stay there all the time. They have free pickings in the grain store so why would they want to leave! They are not albinos either. I used to think they were doves but he said they are pigeons.
