At the end of autumn, the summit of Montagne Noire (#Occitanie, southern France) appears to be covered in #snow. In reality, it is #frost.

Despite the intense cold and persistent fog, numerous colonies of #birds fly over it in the early morning. Here, they are wood #pigeons, more commonly known as #palombes.

Now it's getting cluttered.

Square black-and-white image of a cloudy sky. Thin clouds cover the entire sky and look a bit like fleecy clouds. A black cable runs slightly tilted upwards through the image from the bottom left. A little to the right of it, a white double contrail runs even more tilted through the centre of the image. A flock of pigeons is in the air. They are mostly black and slightly blurred due to their movement.

🕊️🐦 Experts from The #Wildlife Trusts explain that #doves and #pigeons belong to the same scientific family (Columbidae), with naming often based on size rather than biological differences.

Five common #UK species are studied, their identification features, calls, and #conservation status, including the dramatic decline of turtle doves and the success story of collared doves spreading across #Europe.

I am sitting, legs extended, with a closed handful of seeds at my waist. 4 pigeons standing in a row on my leg. a 5th pigeon is walking past them on my other leg.

Across the top is written, "V.I.P. - Very Important Pigeon"

A speech bubble coming from the last pigeon in 'line' says, "Hey! No cuts!"

i 💙 my beauties

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme (alternate) is #Pigeons so here's my contribution! Cooo! #Birds #Photography #PhonePhotography

I don't often photograph #pigeons but this one had a distinctive flash of green around its neck that made it worthwhile...

A handsome looking small pigeon at King's Lynn bus station. It has a dark body, red claws both of which are clearly visible in this picture, a green flash around its neck and red rimmed black eyes, one of which is visible in this shot.

#Pigeons detect magnetic fields through their inner ear https://www.bi.mpg.de/news/2025-11-nordmann https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aea6425

"neurobiologists have identified a dedicated pathway for processing magnetic information that originates in the #InnerEar. This supports an inductive mechanism first proposed over 100 years ago, a concept that science forgot... Genetic analysis of inner ear tissue revealed cells with highly sensitive electric sensors, the same ones used by #sharks to detect their prey"

I snipped a short clip of a video, so it will upload to #Mastodon. It's of a couple of my #pigeons up to their usual antics😁 They entertain me so💙

And I added a new, longer video to that same substack. The first part is of a bunch of pigeons climbing on me while feeding. When they leave, one of the tiny doves comes and eats from my hand again💙 ℰ𝓃𝒿ℴ𝓎!

omg 🤣 it has been raining here for 2 days straight, which i believe has been curtailing my friends' food sources. Because every time i go outside & they see me, they come to me wanting food😅

it has been absolute joyful mayhem all day 😁💙

still going thru all my #video & #photos

An electric discovery: #Pigeons detect #magneticFields through their inner ear

intriguing - an additional #compass mechanism in #birds separate from the light dependent one in the eyes.

Went a bit mad on #pigeons #bird #art #painting #praisebe #gold #pigeon

4 wooden circles for hanging on Xmas trees with pigeons painted on them.

i finally got these tiny little guys to eat from my hand! 🥰💙

i don't know the species of #bird (anyone? #birds #birdsofmastodon #birdsofFediverse ?)

i have a vid of one sneaking in as some #pigeons eat. or, they come over when the #doves come to me for food at the pool

once one almost ate from my hand but a dove pecked it & ran it off. like they do to their own in the #video

it's too big for #Mastodon, so i put it w/ my other #pigeon vid on substack

photo of a pigeon in one hand, and in the other, a pigeon with another pigeon standing on its back

That’s Wobbles on the left. Poor guy must have broken his leg at some point and it healed crooked. I’ve seen this plucky pigeon take some terrible tumbles when landing. and he has to fight his way thru the flock to get to the food

I always try to make sure to feed him when he comes around. I worry about him🥹

it rained all day a couple days ago, so i found a covered area for my friends to come get some food
