Catamong Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 When we start geting somecold frosty weather Weather has nothing to do with it, as pigeons have to feed every day of the year, as others have said, it varies from area to area. With a big crop of berries, acorns and beechmast, it could be after Xmas before they hit the rape in big numbers in our area. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
