"The size of a small chicken... Surely not" I just had time to think to myself before scrolling down to THIS CHONKER.

Meanwhile, in pigeon news: An episode of a show touched on French Mondain pigeons. And good heavens!
"The Mondain is an ancient French pigeon breed. It was kept at many farms and also by poultry fanciers. The breed was described in documents, found in 1824. A distinction was made between three types of Mondain:
The large Mondain that, according to Buffon, sometimes reached the weight of a small chicken. This type of Mondain was very large, very heavy and had red eye ceres. The feather colour varied, in fact they occurred in all know pigeon colours. The number of offspring was low, also they often trampled the eggs or crushed them with their heavy body during incubation."

so i have several much longer #videos on this (which is why i need a #Peertube instance😘) but basically:
these feral #pigeons are fed every day
then, as i feel like, i feed the "liberal" pigeons while the #cancervative birds eat whatever scraps fall
there were a bunch of sunflower seeds on the ground uneaten, but when i offered to feed them😁💙
& you'll notice the 1st thing they eat are sunflower seeds
