Those bloody pigeons
Discussion
What a horribly vile creatures they are – managed to get my white t-shirt covered in green mushy goodness (not) once again. Not good. And this is the third time in my lifetime so far.
First time happened in my childhood, and I was bloody moving too at the time, not standing still, cycling away – still managed to get me, right on top of my head.
Second occurred as I was walking to shops, sporting fresh jeans in the summertime, 2 minutes after leaving the house. Had to go back and get changed as white stain stood out too much. They really do love me, don’t they?!
Still, it doesn’t seem to occur too often, nicely spaced out between the years…
And why do some girlies always get scared of them, start yelling and freaking out when some fly over their heads?!

My GF is petrified of them. When walking around in busy town centres we often find ourselves meandering some bizarre and long-winded routes.
She cannot explain very well what the problem is but agrees that it is irrational and wished she wasn't afraid of them.
Why is nothing done to control their numbers? I'm sure if people were to encounter as many rats in a town centre as they do pigeons, something would be done fairly sharpish. Are there a few oddities out there fighting for their 'rights'?

I don't mind pigeons so much mainly as I hardly ever see them, wood pigeons however are another matter, I remember seeing one as a kid in the woods and thinking wow they are quite rare, fast forward 30 years and the b
ds are everywhere.
Shagging on the apex of my roof at 3am is sodding annoying, might as well sleep with a cuckoo clock under my pillow.

They were never rare, it's just they used to be very good at keeping away from people as they are delicious when pan fried in butter.ds are everywhere.Shagging on the apex of my roof at 3am is sodding annoying, might as well sleep with a cuckoo clock under my pillow.

We have 16 spread over only a few gardens, I wonder what the legalities are on shooting the buggers for the pot.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
