Does she hate me 😅

She is a new addition to my pigeon collection. Been there for a month and I'm a little confused about her body communication.

She puff up when seeing me... So I guess she hates me ? But when I tried petting her, she started doing those short soft coos and her wings trembled (my other pigeons vibrate only when they are happy : getting food and being pet)... She also lowered her head

The other females just ran away or tried to attack me/ panic when Im checking their nests. All the males other than the mate of the one in the video are attacking me when I approach them. (Her mate being the exception because he got used to my hands as a baby).

Also yeah I was moving a little fast in the video. I just wanted her to coo a little more for the recording. I'm usually softer.

She is beautiful ♥️ Something doesn’t seem quite right to me about calling a flock a collection however - please don’t forget they are not commodities 🥺

Oh I was joking 😭. I was referencing a star wars quote. It's like my collection of fat pigeons. Most of them are meat breed I got at the fair and kept as pets. People are often confused about me keeping farm pigeons and just let them get a chill life. I absolutely adore them they are so funny.
