What do pigeons say?

I think they say "my feet hurt Sally" rather than my work colleague who thinks they say "I don't want to know". Am I unreasonable? Do they say something different to you?

Have you ever heard Eider ducks? They sound like outraged ladies clutching their pearls and handbags at something rude!

Crrroooooo ccrrrrooooo
That's what the ones in my garden say.
I'm missing something, aren't I?

I always think that woodpigeons are saying "I doooo like chicken" which makes no sense, as I'm sure they don't.

I love this thread.

Agree with PP who said Woodpigeons say "you bastard, you bastard".

@Wilkolampshade

Which bird is it then that says " a ittle bit of bread and chee-eese"?
A yellowhammer, I think.

Habergaast · 03/07/2021 20:24

You mean the Wood Pigeons OP? They say (and have always said, since I was a child), "I love you [Habergaast]*"

'Take two doves, Taffy' is what my mum taught me.

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 03/07/2021 18:44

There's a small bird that I used to what growing up that used to sound like he said a southern

"Wanker. WANKER. Wanker. Wanker."
