Throughout these developmental stages, baby pigeons undergo various physical changes essential for their survival. Their eyesight improves, their feathers grow and change color, and their wings and muscles become more robust.

I loved Peri. She is such an endearing, dry witted, sarcastic and long-suffering friend (and daughter) who has the ability to make the reader cry with laughter with her observations about the calamity and dramas going on around her and involving her. Her pre-teen outlook on life is hilariously, truly funny. Pamela Butchart is just such an expert at capturing the internal voice of her young characters and their external reactions to events around them.

However, something other than the bubonic plague has devastated populations of this bird species over the last 300 years. Not only is the casque shaped like headgear, but the male hornbill even uses it to joust and head-bang with other males when fighting over territory or figs, their favorite food.The flamboyantly named Petunia Perry is the voice of the story – writing her memoirs of her "tragic" life so far from the inside of her wardrobe. The transition to Y7 is proving baffling and tough to navigate but Peri and Best Friend Cammy coped as long as they had the safety net of their sworn friendship. When Peri and Cammy begin to fall out over the creation of their new band, The Spoons - including flash mob disagreements and the introduction of a new (very cool) band member - Peri begins to feel the heat and walking her own path becomes even more awkward and prone to disaster!

On this blog, you’ll find great info about tons of funny and crazy birds. Still, others are convinced that baby pigeons are born with the ability to fly and leave the nest as soon as they hatch. But the truth is, these beliefs couldn’t be further from reality.

One interesting fact about baby pigeons is that they do not have a distinct “adolescent” stage like many other animals. Instead, they go through a gradual process of growth and development that leads to maturity. One time my cat half killed one but, being as lazy as I am, couldn’t be bothered to finish off the job so I had a half dead pigeon flying around the house. Not content with being my biggest fear, it also stained my room with shit and blood. I did however learn that blood is easy to wipe off walls (just a tip for all you wannabe murderers out there, holla), however, shit is not and, being as lazy as my cat, there is still some bird shit on my wall. I ended up just putting a bin on top of it and waiting for it to just give up.
