I love wood pigeons, so cute!!
They are lovely birds, and very intelligent too - always interesting to see them.
Me too! 😃
Same
Oh my gosh, my heart pulls out for them. Especially when they waddle together in groups looking for food😂
They wake me up every morning and i can't complain.
Nicely put, I feel exactly the same way.
same
Yeah 3 AM is morning lol
Lovely birds and quite entertaining if you take time to watch them interact with eachother.
I have a friend pigeon he knows what time I feed him
And he waits on my neighbours house and then flys down to the small wall
I place the seeds I use pointing to communicate and let him know
That it is okay for him to eat the seeds
And he seems to understand it honestly he has his own. Personality
totally agree there
One walked along the wall of the garden where I used to live and the way he lifted his little feet up was quite endearing and I made a 'doo be doo be doo' noise in a silly voice to try to describe the manner in which he walked. I've got one that visits my garden now. He'll be after my raspberries soon but I'll just let him have them. He jumped into my raspberry bush when we were sat right next to the raspberries! So cheeky! He got paranoid about me watching him from the kitchen so he flew off or maybe he didn't like a particular clattering noise. I was trying to be quiet. Think he was looking for seeds.
When I first moved to the UK, I saw one of these birds in my back garden. Me, being the american iɗiσṭ that I am, saw the unique markings and thought it was an escaped pet pigeon. So I grabbed some bird food and tried to coax it in, not understanding why it acted so scared, completely oblivious to the fact that I was terrorizing a wild animal.
It flew off, and I was devastated....only to find a whole flock of them hanging out in a tree the next day.
Very nice video about this big pigeon.
Thank you!
Adorable love them
Me too! Thanks for watching
My favourite birds! I love them! Thank you for such a nice video :)

I just love wood pigeons. My fav wild birds. I’m bias as I was once a pigeon fancier. Woodies have so much character.
Lovely footage of Common wood pigeon. Like it my friend.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
The song of the wood pigeon is the sound I most associate with home.
My fave bird!
We have wood pigeons too, in the garden (Dante, Beatrice the cute chicks).

Beautiful and interesting video
Many thanks, gad you enjoyed it.
Attractive in the nature😍
Perfect, no nonsense video.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video.
I like the wood pigeon, they seem allot cleaner then feral pigeons and don't shit everywhere.
They are also polite when they visit your garden and don't hang around once food is unavailable.
I love WOODPIGEONS!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🕊💙🕊💙🕊💙🕊💙🕊💙🕊💙🕊💙💙

I've seen this in Europe, but we don't have them here in America. Nice sharing! 👍
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video!
There only in Europe forests
My garden is a forest so I have 4 wood pigeons 2 fully grown and bit bigger than average and 2 babys
In America you have mourning doves, which we don't have in Europe (as far as I know)
Very interesting and well filmed.
Happy Sunday, Jacq

Any tips to prevent wood pigeons destroying my planted borders?
I have two feeders in a 5 year old hawthorn tree which was trouble free until the local wood pigeons discovered the feeders and now upto seven at a time come during the mornings and have broken my ferns and climbed in several bushes which has broken them or stunted their growth.
I used a tray on the feeders to stop the seed falling to the ground but the pigeons discovered how to perch on the trays or feeder perches to steal the seed whilst flapping about attempting to gain balance.
I’ve changed the feeders, moved the feeders to no avail. My artificial lawn laid last year is along with my flower borders being ruined by these nuisance pigeons to such an extent I am seriously considering stopping feeding the birds altogether.
I am at my wits end as I enjoy feeding the wild birds but it cannot be at the detriment of my garden and daily clean up of pigeon muck and damaged plants due to these pigeons bickering over fallen seed!
Any suggestions other than shooting them is greatly appreciated!
There are some seeds such as sunflower hearts wood pigeons can't stand. Also, they hate suet. So maybe you could place only sunflower hearts and suet flakes in the bird feeder? That way the wood pigeons would no longer be interested!
believe it or not I use a 50% sunflower heart mix as it is a very nutritious seed for wild birds, along with dried mealworms, calci worms, peanut granules, suet pellets and a small selection of crushed oats and other 5% seeds, but these pigeons hoover anything that falls to the ground!🤯
I have tied with the idea of just sunflower seeds in the past to stop any seeds growing in the borders but thought it’s nice the birds get a variety of seeds to eat.
Thanks for your comments but I just don’t think sunflower hearts on their own will stop these ‘very well fed’ wood pigeons, but I will try!
I've seen bird tables on the market with very low roofs to stop larger birds like pigeons getting to the food. I wonder if one of these might contain the spillage better than a feeder but still enable smaller birds to get to the food.
I just love wood pigeons. I'm in North East Scotland and I go for a walk every morning around 7:30. And these guys are everywhere. It was mentioned in the video that they do five 'coos'. Well, the ones in my area do three and a half. In other words, the fourth coo is halved in length.
Pigeons are wonderful and very sweet birds
Great footage and sound, as well as an overall very good video. Thanks for sharing!
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Pigeons have very good eyesight .
Wow! Hello my friend! it's amazing! It's wonderful video! It's a very clear and beautiful image! The beautiful birds looked even more beautiful! That's excellent!
Very interesting! I really enjoyed it! Nice upload! And it's great high quality video! I really like it! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much for your kind comment. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Woody 1., is a regular visitor to my garden, sits on fence waiting..... swoops down to feed when i set it out... All was well for several weeks when a second bird arrived and for a few momenents they fed together, But all of a sudden Woody 2, attacked 1, by peckijng and then chasing away ,then to replace Woody1. at the feed table. NOW woody 2 waits for Woody i to arrive and then chasues away and not allow Wooddy !". to feed. This happens every day inthe same pattern.... WHY IS THIS ? CAN ANY ONE EXPLAIN THIS BEHAVIOURB PLEASE .Woody now cannot feed due to this attack. THANK YOU.... SASn.
The SUV version of the feral pigeon
Is it the Male or female who makes the call or both? I have resident woodpigeons
Are Goshawks their principle predator nowadays?
Sparrowhawks and cats are a lot more common
Also bonus fun fact: they are the composers of the uk’s national anthem
Your PAW PAW's Broken
That song was very repetitive. Woo woo woo woo woo.
"parks" is not a natural habitat
