Pigeons have something of a bad rap in the animal kingdom, but after watching this video you might just begin to warm up to the unpopular birds.

The Green family has certainly developed a fondness for one fowl in particular -- a pigeon they have dubbed Charlie.

After finding a tiny and injured Charlie in their garden when he was just 10 days old, the family took it upon themselves to nurse him back to health.

Now, their feathered friend is part of the family. Charlie comes when called, pecks at the remote control, and isn't scared of the family's pet dogs or rabbits.

All it takes is a little love, folks.
