Dipty is not really a flock bird. He has assessed the other pigeons in his foster home and found them, collectively, less interesting than people and mirrors, and he has organized his social life accordingly. This is a preference, not a problem, and it tells you something useful about who Dipty is: a bird who knows what he likes and gravitates toward it with quiet, polite consistency.
What he likes is people. Specifically, being near them — not in a demanding, vocal way, but in the settled, companionable way of someone who simply enjoys good company. He is a little shy about it, which means the affection arrives gradually and is, for that reason, worth something. Dipty does not give his trust cheaply. He gives it thoughtfully, and once extended, it stays.
He is polite in every practical sense — easy to pick up, cooperative about his pigeon pants, which he wears with quiet dignity. He is a genuinely easygoing bird: no drama, no fuss, just Dipty being Dipty, which is gentle and undemanding and quite sweet.
He is a handsome, substantial pigeon with a calm, considered demeanor. Dipty waits patiently a home where people are consistently present, where the energy is relatively calm, and where someone will appreciate a bird who asks for very little and offers, in return, steady and genuine companionship. A mirror would also be appreciated. He is, in every way, a very good boy.
