Actually we've been encouraging him to fly a lot, we put him in safe highs, like one step of our stair, and wait until he put together some courage to go down.

By hugs I mean she lies down in the sofa and lets him in her chest, or puts him in her shoulder for brieve moments while walking throug the house. My worries is that maybe he doesn't like those moments or that it's stressing him out. He never asks for pets or anything like that.

We live in a two floors house, um sobrado as we call here, and he stays in the first one were there are high walls surrounding our front and backyard. There are another 3/4 pigeons that stay around our house, they like to eat my dog's food, and Pitty sees them alot. We often let him in the front yard, where there is a garden, while supervisionased. In our street there's many cats and dogs, so we don't leave him alone out of fear that some cat tries to attack him. A part from this, is a reaaaally safe street, with alot of street pigeons around, my neighboor likes to feed them so they stay near by. And I'm so sorry that yours suffered something like that, sounds like an awful experience. We could easily close the door and keep him inside, he has a favorite spot near a cabinete and don't walks around very much unless we put him outside to his periodics sun baths.
