The saying goes "A bird in the hand than a pigeon on the roof" and refers to the contradiction between hope and reality. The Sparrow for the daily hunger - for the two birds can be eaten - is safe, the dove for the big appetite can always fly away. These images
buzz since the autumn in me. The search for a pigeon was unsuccessful. I was told that I am already too old for me to take care of something. Then came a phone call and suddenly a dove was sitting on a roof and it should even be possible to catch them. Phone calls and emails later I was sitting in the car of the pigeon breeder on the way to the loft and here, in addition to the pigeons and other birds immediately offered, which grew to the size of two fat turkeys. The animals appeared to me already on the way back and way too big to be caught before the pigeon was smaller with increasing distance, and was seen no longer as well.
It took a second visit to the loft to show me that this pigeon would be very tasty and I will do my honest attempt to get at least a dove. The turkeys were mentioned in a phone call again, but this time were only dimly. Only a good preparation of the pigeon and some of that meal would ever closer to a pigeon, and perhaps even lead to larger animals.
saw in the dark months, I will neither doves nor sparrows and it took a lot of strength to recognize this.
was not until I got offered another sparrow, I was again able to communicate with the pigeon breeder who once again drew attention again in response to a turkey. Then it went
relatively quickly. I wrote a concept paper on the role of sparrows. This text will now solicit food. I received positive feedback from both experts, the pigeon and the pigeon breeder. Now, it takes time to determine whether I can take care of the pigeon. Currently I have
three sparrows and a pigeon, and will to autumn not be hungry. Until then will decide whether such a dove, or just a fat sparrow, and - this would be a huge step for me - if I go to any other place under the pigeon breeders.
