Beware the south street pigeons...

[pink penguin]

I was away from Saturday until Monday, a fairly normal thing to do, in my opinion. I got a text from my flatmate on Monday, shortly before my return, stating that she had gone to my cupboard to find painkillers (sadly she didn't succeed) and found inside an interesting collection of twigs and feathers. She was standing there thinking I had gone slightly potty (not an unusual assumption to make) when a pigeon appeared at my open windom (well it was hot, so I left it open) complete with sticks and proceeded to enter said cupboard, not noticing her there. Whereupon she proceeded to dance adn sing at the pigeon to make it leave. It did. She closed the window, and texted me. End of story.

Or is it? I opened my window last night, it being a bit muggy, and was woken this morning by a strange scrabbling noise. Hopefully not a burglar, 3 floors up. So i got out of bed, pulled back the curtain and found the pigeon trying to get in, with more sticks, so I scared it away, and now cannot leave my window open more than a few inches in fear of the pigeon that wishes to become my roommate, a most alarming proposition in my opinion.

SO, if you live on south street a word of warning - beware of the pigeon that is searching for a new home in a nice cupboard near you...

I wouldn't worry about it. Pigeons make shoddy little nests everywhere all year round. Just make sure it doesn't come back. It will make one somewhere else if it needs to. Otherwise keep it as a pet or you can steal its eggs and make omelette.

Kæmp for alt hvad du har kært,
Dø om så det gælder.
Da er livet ej så svært,
Døden ikke heller.

That's nothing new. MadDog makes a regular habit of it, for one!

In America they think 100 years is old and in Britain they think 100 miles is far.

Baby pigeons are really really ugly. But kind of cute, too. Also, naked baby squirrels are very funny looking.

birds need to be shot.

haha, I have this great mental picture of your flatmate dancing and singing at the bird to scare it off. I'm actually laughing out loud and scaring whoever's watching my webcam.

Do those under a risk of death by metor run some thus-far indefinite risk of longrun meteorisation?

I had a pigeon live in my chimney last year, which woke me up about 7 each morning.

How can i think i'm standing strong, yet feel the air beneath my feet? How can happiness feel so wrong? How can misery feel so sweet?
