[Video] Sadie removes the banded pigeon leg from the nest – May 15th, 2018

As seen yesterday in my previous post, a pigeon that Bobby had caught and delivered to the nest had a band around one of its legs.

Sadie fed the body of the pigeon to the babies and I watched on the nest cam as she dug the banded leg out of the nest bowl and started feeding it to the babies at 6:51 this morning.

After a couple of nibbles of the leg meat, Sadie turned and removed the banded leg from the nest as she does with all uneaten meat scraps.

The footage below is of the feeding attempt and toting of the leg:
