Meet the woman who forces her husband to share a bed - with two pet pigeons who kiss and cuddle her.
Animal lover, Lucie Morris, 31, travelled 50 miles to pick up an injured pigeon before ''falling in love'' with the bird.
After two weeks of treatment, she says the pigeon "refused" to leave so they named him Rosie Cheeks - thinking he was female - and let him stay.
Fearing he would be lonely, the mum-of-two decided to adopt second pigeon, Flori Pretzel, a girl in March 2024. to keep him company.
The feathered friends have now "taken over" Lucie's life - roaming freely around the house and even sleeping on her partner's pillow.

00:00 Hi I'm Anton, this is Lucy and this is Lainey and these are our two pigeons Rosie and Flory.
00:08 So we've had the pigeons for about four or five months now.
00:17 Originally we just had Rosie, when we had him he was a rescue pigeon.
00:21 We had a call of somebody who had the pigeon sort of lurking around outside the house
00:27 and there was cats, sort of, you know, they were going to either attack him or he was going to get hurt.
00:34 So they rang us and we went down and picked him up.
00:37 We rehabilitated him but after that he wouldn't leave, after we tried to release him.
00:42 So we got Flory as a mate.
00:45 They're definitely messy and they keep you on your toes but they are wonderful pets and we do love them very much.
00:57 Family seem to find it quite mad, even though we've obviously got birds as well in the family.
01:04 So it's not so much of a leap but they still think we're crazy.
01:09 But then most of our friends just think it's actually really cool.
01:12 They're actually surprised like we are that they've become domesticated in the way that they have.
01:18 like so.
