Talk for the housing estate

It was minus 7 today at the start of a job in a housing estate and a hen and cock bird was cooing and clapping and diving .

It seems even a very cold spell has not put the woodies off a bit of love making.

OTH

Do you think the last 7/8 years of mild winter and early springs have screwed there body clocks up.

I think if the weather carrys on like this we may see a large drop in pigeon numbers for first time in 15/20 years.

Too be honest I think that pigeon numbers will still grow, this cold weather may nock a few off but there is plenty of food around for them at the moment and so far I have not seen any birds that have died from the cold only ones that have died from the 32 gram 6's lol
