She has a cage about the size of a parrot cage, but with 2 levels of floor (like a ferret cage or something), since pigeons don't climb around like parrots and other birds do.
Found her when she was a baby, had fallen out of a nest and was wandering around the street injured... raised her and now she's a part of the household. Pigeons are surprisingly good pets, they are hardy and easy to care for, curious, can't bite hard like hookbills, etc etc.

I used to have a cat JUST like that many years ago, called Moss (After the racing driver).
Anyway, we have a rogue pet just adopted us. My wife is terrified of spiders, to the point where she refused to go into the garden last night, didn't want to see the spider images I took and ran away from the camera as I forced the issue.... in psychology it's called "flooding", but in real terms I was being a **** lol.

Totally agree, although when I was in France a huge spider actually bit me - the swine! I was taken aback as he just looked like any long legged spider I had seen in their hundreds in that old house. Must have just been in a bad mood or something. He lost the argument when he met Mr. Shoe!

he started it. You only acted in self defence lol. Im not scared of spiders at all
spiders dont really bug me, but i have to kill them at home cuz if my g/f sees them she will run and lock herself in the bathroom until its dead.....
i was also bit by one when i was a kid.....right on the back of my knee.....swelled up to the size of a golfball(looked a golfball stuck to the back side of my knee) until it burst.....
i also went to school with a kid who was bit by a spider on the cheek and it layed eggs in it.....he didnt know what it was, just thought it was a sore, until he was scratching it and it kinda cut open and a **** of baby spiders swarmed all over his face.....

"9.) Myth: Spiders can lay their eggs under human skin in wounds created by their bites.
Fact: In a surprisingly widespread legend, a nameless woman is bitten by a spider (usually on her cheek) while on vacation. She later develops a swelling, from which, in due course, baby spiders emerge! Somehow or other, the venom must have transformed into eggs. Spiders, need I say, do not find the human body a suitable site for egglaying, and no actual case anything like this can be found anywhere in scientific or medical literature. "
