… i don’t like their name! recently i’ve been listening to pigeon detectives and it has to be said, i really love their sound. i can’t quite come to terms with their name though. you see, it turns out i have a bit of a prejudice against pigeons - although it’s something that has only just come to my attention and it’s really quite disturbing - which led me off on a train of thought…

correct me if i’m wrong, but aren’t they disease ridden birds. i quote:-

“homing pigeons can be hosts to various diseases, some of which can be transmitted to humans”

ew! the things are deadly! in addition, anyone who’s been to trafalgar square in london will be able to tell you how terrifying the things are - there’s thousands of them and they fly straight at your head. i tell you, they have no fear!

mary poppins might have sung about feeding the birds - but she didn’t sing the next verse which was “be warned because then they’ll poop on your head” did she??? i think we’re only hearing one side of the story
on that lovely thought, now that my post makes no sense whatsoever and i’m feeling totally and utterly unsettled, i’m going to go and take a shower - i feel kind of dirty!

happy friday,

p.s. oh my goodness, i’ve just thought of a fear that i’m going to have to put on my “things i’m scare of” page - being pecked to death by pigeons. yes i know - today’s another random day!

p.p.s don’t even get me started on magpies - the little thieves!
