funny pet stuff... Options

[Dantrag]

Just want to ask people about crazy stuff their pet(s) do(es).

My dog will sit in his pen and bark, so I let him out. Then he will walk right back into the pen and start barking again...This is a daily thing.

And then my snake tries to eat mice sideways...spending hours trying to eat it. And ends up leaving it on the ground.

Share your stupid/funny pet stories!

(wow i'm bored, starting this thread...)

Hmmmm...Olav, I'm still wondering what pigeon chickens are?

If you mean has anyone seem the babies of pigeons, I know of a couple different places where pigeons have built nests and while I have not seen the babies, I have definitely heard them peeping (crying) for their food.

==============================

Speaking of bird's nests ... we get the most majestic parent birds in the world here in Florida. (Well, I think they are.) They are the ospreys - water eagles - who make nests in the tallest trees. When people cut down the tallest trees in their area they start making nests at the tops of radio towers, telephone poles, tall building spires. They can build a really good solid nest on amazingly small spaces.

One time I was outside & looked up and I saw this osprey hauling about a 6 foot long tree branch through the air - up, up, up to its nest. I couldn't stop watching until he got it up there and started pushing & shoving it into place. Then, off he flew to find another. Our TV news shows remotely film some of the baby ospreys in their nests all Spring until they fly away and you can follow their progress in the paper too.

Ah.. Well they're called pigeon/dove chickens in Norwegian, directly translated (duekylling), but I suspected it wasn't called that in English...

Anyway that was my point, that so few have seen them as babies. All of them seem to be the same size! So it seems they are in nests until they're fully grown...

I just find this a bit fascinating. I'll go away now...
