- This is Peggy. He has pretty much no feet. But he is full of life and confidence and doesn’t seem to let his handicap stand in his way. He inspires me. He is usually shy but sometimes he will eat from my hand like this time!
I love how squirrel came like "hey can I have some"
Awwwh what a trooper 🥺 a lot of pigeons get litter like string or hair stuck on their feet and it ends up making their toes fall off. That’s probably what happened to poor Peggy, it’s sad that you haven’t seen them in a while :[
yeah, totally. i ran into a friend on the street who often feeds pigeons and he was holding one. he called me over to help him out. he held the pigeon while i used a small scissor to cut some sort of thread around its' foot. it was a perfectly timed synchronicity.
i've also seen many in the neighbourhood as well with that on their feet but i wouldn't be able to help them on my own.
wherever Peggy is let's send him love
Hair is especially dangerous.
Thank you for caring for pigeons, they are wonderful birds
So many people hate or dislike them so its just nice to see the opposite for a change
I just love how scruff went sneaky squirrel mode and tried to get the food
Scruffer is a fighter and a survivor. She pulls out all the stops!
I used to feed a handicapped pigeon too. I called him Puffy because he was always round and fluffy! Because his toes were damaged, my balcony became one of the safest places for him. He was a unique bird indeed. He loved to watch my family doing stuff or to observe things on the outside from the height of the balcony, being on the warm sun and... To simple be around and listen to me talking and being next to him. Puffy was a shy, but very loyal and friendly birb. I fed him for many, many years, but one day he just didn't come back, so... Wherever he is now, I hope he is safe, resting well and living his best fluffy life. I feed a lot of unique pigeons on my balcony, but Peggy also reminds me of my main pigeon friend Sir Fatlock. He is a very big and strong adult pigeon from the main lineage of pigeons I used to feed for years too. Peggy looks somehow similar to him in the front view.✨
Thank you for feeding such a cute pigeon. They are amazing, and I am very happy to see many people around the world appreciating and caring for them.
That's so sweet
Such a soft warm looking baby. I wish I could hold him.
squirrel thought "lemme sneak in there".
yep, that's almost always her thought!!
my lil heart melts 🥺
makes me feel say when I see birds like this around here, but when people feed them like you, it makes me feel so happy. I also try to feed as many as I can. I always felt that society is a reflection in how the animals are doing, specifically pigeons. When people are healthy the pigeons are also. Bless everyone.
I've been feeding and looking after them for about 8 years, including the string and hair problem around the toes. I keep a tiny dental pick, some very small surgical scissors, tweezers, and an exacto knife in a little pouch along with either peroxide or Neosporin. Sometimes it's hard to get all of it off of their toes especially if it's been on there for a while, but when you get rid of it and disinfect the area if it was bleeding, you can see the look of relief on their faces when they get circulation back in their feet.
@@jpalberthoward9 amazing. I try here but it is very hard to get the string off, especially in winter. I also notice the ones that have it bad are extra careful in not being caught since they think they are being purposely targeted (they are but for good reason) -- maybe prey mentality since injured ones get picked up first. So I often can't but a few I have. I just wanna say keep it man! Bless you! I see many with one leg or only a few toes, and I just feed them as much as I can.
Awww poor little darling! ❤️🐦❤️ he or she is so brave and precious! I see lots of pigeons in cities that have bits of their feet missing. I always feed them because I love them so much! ❤️🐦❤️
"Peggy the Handicapped Pigeon"
A great title for an children's book on valuing diversity.
Awww, this is just sooo cute! 🥺😍🤩
awww, Bless her , thank you for upload
This is wonderful. Thank you for feeding this cutie and for caring. I JUST adopted a handicapped pigeon 🥰🕊 Pigeons are such amazing, special animals.
congrats! i've only temporarily had pigeons in my care, so i'd say you are blessed with a wonderful opportunity! wish you both all the best!!!
@citycritteradventures7427 thank you so so much. I still can't believe I get to hang out with a pigeon every day 😭 My guy is so determined to heal and he works so hard on PT 🥰🕊 Thank you for helping pigeon friends
Little Peggy reminds me of Cher Ami, a war pigeon who was hailed a hero after delivering a message and helped saved 194 American soldiers
They’re so precious 🥺
They really are.
So cute ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have a one-legged crow that shows up when I feed the flock of neighborhood crows!
Thank you for taking care of dear Peggy and all the lovely pidgeons 🌹 I love pidgeon, I have two own peacock doves, they are funny and very fond of my boyfriend and me 👍🕊️🕊️👍💖
This man is a disney princess

We have a wood pigeon with a club foot who started coming round last summer, he's getting kind of friendly but still quite wary of people.
How is the pigeon with y’all now? More friendly and socialized?
@@citycritteradventures7427 He's slowly getting there!
I have a pigeon with a splayed leg who likes to bite my fingers a lot, but that's okay cuz I luv her.
yes, those bites border on the line of endearing and annoying, but if you really love the bird, then you can make it endearing all the time 😀 ouch!
No way you just brushed away the rare black squirrel
She was quite rare actually, or rather our connection was. Knew her for 5 years and she died last year. We became good buds in the meantime ☺️ rip 🪦 Scruffer
Good hogya ji
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you want to get string off their feet you need a small towel, like a hand towel, you catch the pigeon then wrap them in the towel like a burrito (it'll take practice) but it doesn't need to be tight, they'll immediately stop struggling and you can take your time cutting string off their feet.
That’s a nice idea. When in the towel, I could then use one hand to hold the burrito and one hand to cut the string. It’s hard to hold them yourself and do a task!
@@citycritteradventures7427 you don't need to hold them, you can rest the burrito bird in your lap. They are smart and won't struggle even though it isn't tight as they know they are stuck.
That way you can use both hands as it can be very tricky getting it off their feet.
@@xaiano794 ahh I see. Okay. I’ll have to try this burrito method. Thanks a lot for this tip 🌯
the man feeding the pigeons is adorable too I know we cant see him but I know he's adorable
☺️☺️☺️
❤😍❤
We found a bird like that while we were hanging out while we ate some takeaway. We called him Legolas. He was pretty damn cute
Pretty cool on the spot name giving. Love it. May Legolas be bathed in the Light of the Eldar always!
@@citycritteradventures7427 He already bathed in our Mv Donald fries lol
Pigeon love❤
That black squirrel is 1 in 10000
How the pigeon lost its leg and why so we can avoid that ??
How will it survive this disabilities in wild ??
It needs to be adopted
pigeon lose their legs because people don't dispose of their hair in their brush correctly, these lumps of hair are traps. Their feet get stuck in it then the more they try to get rid of it, or they walk with it, the more the hairs just cut their toes or feet. You can help by finding pigeons with hair in their feet, catching them and removing the hair.
As I remember Peggy did pretty well for the 2 years I knew him. But it must be hard. He’s definitely not one who would have liked being adopted or taken in. He liked his freedom and wildness, even if he had to endure it without both feet. That being said I always tried to help him out.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
💙❤️💙
Que bueno eres¡¡¡🖒
😮
😇😇😇😇😇😇
I love pigeon, I now have to feed 50 just to feed 2 with disabilities :D The word goes around if you feed pigeons and soon every one in the neighborhood will come to check this humans that just gives good food around. I purchase bags of pigeon seed mix and in the store they think I have a pigeon coop :D
Yeah totally. They are very social, and their social media is very effective!
I never seen a goth squirrel.
lol
Aw poor thing
yeah... i haven't seen Peggy in a while. More than a year. Miss him.
@@citycritteradventures7427 I hope he is alright!
0:13 OMG THAT SQUIRREL IS SO RARE
He’s not handicapped he’s a pirate
I like it. Let’s pitch in for an eye patch, arr?
If it a surprise bird don't try to take them because they love out side
голуби милые и забавные. они такие тискательные)) тоже иногда снимаю про них видео
Why was there a wingless fluffy tailed pigeon that showed up? What kind of bird is that?
When? Where? Who? Whattttt?
Please Try to share more food to all these innocent creatures
It’s hard because they are endless in number essentially. I try to do what I can. I’ve found it better to feed small groups. It’s a lot of work to feed the whole lot and I don’t do that anymore. Some people do feed in bulk though!
@@citycritteradventures7427 thanks for the answer, i know it's very hard to feed all the animals we see in our ways.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a solid black squirrel before. Where are you? Are they common there?
Ontario, Canada. They are just a different colour morph of Grey Squirrel. They are all over the place here! Yes, common!
There are rarer white ones (albino or Melanie tic probably) and some reddish brown ones… lovely! All the same Gray Squirrel though
yeras ago a pigeon walked into my flat as if it was normal and 'asked' for food, few days later she threw the empty bowl over my balcony till i feed her, it was really noisy. at least she brought her buddys and my balcony was full of pidgeons, two of them tried to build a nest, at night mouses came to steal the food (2nd floor balcony). a mess and chaos, neighbours complaint about the noiselevel and pigeondung, i stopped feeding them, they left....nowadays im breeding herbs on my balcony
I hear you. My parents also found themselves hostage to the large army of pigeons, house sparrows and squirrels that would come into their 1st floor balcony. It soon turned into a nightmare. The balcony was covered with poop and the neighbours weren’t happy.
I find it’s better for me if I feed them in public, outdoors. I chase them and make noise when they come on the balcony. Not because I don’t want them there, but rather because I don’t want to clean layers of poop all week.
Gotta learn to set boundaries and say no, even if they are fricking cute
how's he doing now?
It’s been at least 2 or more years since I’ve seen Peggy. He may have passed or moved neighborhoods in a more permanent way. Miss him.
Poor squirrel. Why did you refuse to feed the squirrel?
Scruffer usually gets more than her share and I’m happy to give it to her. She’ll chase the other squirrels and wrestle the birds 😊gotta portion out the loving, otherwise no one else will get any 😉
@@citycritteradventures7427 Well she didn't get any this time.
@@Weirdisjustabrownandyellowword don’t worry. She did, off cam 😊. There are a few videos on my channel of Scruffer being fed and pet if you want to check out!
@@citycritteradventures7427 Well that's alright then.
Was this man racist against the squirrel 😳
Hey man I’m an equal opportunity feeder!😇😇😇
Why can't scruff have some ?
Scruff has had more than all of them combined! And now she has passed on. Send a prayer upward for her 😇
He doesnt let his disability... _stand_ in the way?
Quite inspiring really. Carries on like there is no issue at all.
Don't say Tom is fat
Fa
The pigeon is fat. 🐦
yep, even with his handicap, he still managed to stay big 😀
He's not your buddy, PAL!
She’s definitely my buddy, guy, for sure, DUDE!
