A pigeon dove is quickly becoming Facebook famous in Pentictonsa国际传媒攜es, you read that right.

Dubbed Clarence the pigeon dove, this friendly bird seems to enjoy popping into peoplesa国际传媒檚 backyards or other parts of their property for a visit, and possibly a snack and some water. All those who have encountered him have been shocked by his comfortability with humans and his overall timidness, leading them to wonder if he is perhaps a lost pet.

Penticton resident Gunnar Fulton, who named Clarence, seems to have the most experience with this popular bird and started a Facebook page for people in the Penticton area to catalog their encounters with him. The Facebook page has over 148 people following it just two days after the page was set up.
