A dog fascinated by pigeons
One day, Watson, an English Pointer, was walking with his owner in a local park when he spotted a group of pigeons on the grass. He walked over, sat down, and refused to move for ages. He just stared at the pigeons and simply did not want to leave, his owner explained on TikTok.
Next time they went, she brought along some birdseed to draw the pigeons towards Watson so he could carry on watching them. That was all it took for the birds to start trusting him. Now, she says they rush over to him as soon as they spot him, seeds or no seeds. Watson is a gentle dog, and she believes the pigeons can feel it.
Hundreds of pigeons surrounding him
As soon as Watson enters the park, the pigeons spot him. They gather at their usual spot on the grass, and Watson runs over as fast as he can before flopping down. Almost instantly, hundreds of pigeons surround him. They perch on him and snuggle up close, while he stays completely still, soaking up every second. Getting him to move is no easy task, his owner shared in a TikTok video, as he is right where he wants to be.
A passion supported by his family
Nobody knows why Watson is so captivated by pigeons, but his family accepts him just as he is and supports his passion. They take him to the park as often as possible to see his friends, and the pigeons are always just as thrilled to see him. "What Watson wants, Watson gets," his owner summed up.
Are you allowed to feed pigeons?
In this story, Watson's owner initially used birdseed. However, it is worth noting that feeding pigeons is restricted or even banned in many towns and cities. It is always best to check with your local council before starting to feed them.
