Kirk's newest children

About a week ago, we discovered this guy in our yard right next to our house. We gave him some bread, which he gobbled up quickly and also some water. Kirk gave him the name of Mr. Pidgey Widgey. We have no idea where he came from.

Every morning we find him in the same place in the yard and we discovered that he sleeps in a different spot in the evenings. How do we know this?....follow the poop!

Then one day this guy in the neighborhood (Larry) says, hey, there's another pigeon down the road. Kirk says, oh, he'll make a nice friend for Mr. Pidgey Widgey. Go and get him! Kirk promptly named him Karl.

So, here's Kirk's newest children--Karl and Mr. Pidgey Widgey. They get along ok when there isn't food around. But, when Kirk feeds them, Karl is the aggressive one and gets the bread first and won't let Mr. Widgey get any! So, Kirk has resorted to handing out a piece of bread to each bird.
