Feral Pigeons

[Mark Clayton <>]

Steve,

That is probably the same roost I was thinking of in my reply to Geoffrey et al. I couldn't think of the road name off the top of my head - Old age creeping up rapidly ....... !!

There’s a roost under the Cotter Road bridge across the Tuggeranong Parkway, too.

You got in first Rosemary! Quick off the mark!

There also used to be a roost in Forde under a bridge on Horse Park Drive. I will check out what has happened since the major road works there.

Roosts under the bridges across Ginninderra Creek for Florey Drive, Macgregor and Ginninderra Drive, Flynn, Geoffrey. 

 

There used to be/still is? a loft in NE Macgregor from which flights would swirl daily.

I am engaged on a little project on the local feral pigeons.  I’m interested in any reports of regular feeding aggregations or major roosting or nesting sites.

 

At the moment we are not seeing the large flocks we used to get around the open areas and on powerlines at Jerrabomberra Wetlands NR.  There are a few flocks to be seen on lawns in the parliamentary triangle.

 

The flock regularly seen flying over south Canberra is probably based at a local loft i.e. privately owned.  There are probably similar flocks in North Canberra, which is the home of an active pigeon racing club.

Does anyone on this chatline keep pigeons?
