I was checking on our frog pond to make sure the water level was okay (it's been very dry so I set up a hose and pump from the lake to keep the water level up). As I'm leaving a pigeon, of all things, walks out of the woods. I thought it was a bit strange to see a pigeon around here but whatever.
As I start walking back to the house the pigeon follows me. Uh, okay. I go back to work and my wife says "Come here and look at this". The pigeon is sitting on a rock by the front window. "Oh", I said, "that's Jim the pigeon. He followed me up from the frog pond."
We checked to make sure he could fly by charging at him and he flew off. A minute later he's back. I walked onto the patio and sat down and he comes around the corner and walks around like he owns the place looking in the windows and stuff. He's currently outside walking around on the lawn pecking at things.
He almost acts like he's someone's pet. I can walk right up to him but he won't let me touch him. He's completely unafraid of humans. I told him the nearest McDonald's is something like 20 miles away but he didn't seem to care.
