To throw water over a pigeon I've just spray painted?

Stay with me.

Just started to spray paint a fence panel, must have startled poor pidge behind fence as it flapped up maniacally. I had a bit of a scream...whilst holding spray trigger.

Pidge is now half 'oak brown', sitting in tree. Can't quite tell if he's ok, not giving much away with facial expression.

Have googled "accidentally painted a pigeon" with disappointingly unresourceful results.

So, should i just chuck water at it & hope it comes off?? Turps would seem a little extreme.

I'm still PMSL at "Paul, is that you?"

I am roaring at this thread. Most especially Hairy's typos Grin Or in Hairy's words, [grun]

There once was a Pigeon called Paul
Whos wings were not waterproof at all
One fine day
Ronseal was sprayed
And now Paul cant fly at all, because of OP, the cow.

Am back on laptop now or god knows how that would have turned out [grun]

Oh lordy! Don't know about pidge but I'll bet the neighbours pissed off with you about his acer.... oops.

EXmrsmascarahead · 04/05/2012 15:31

Have you tried buffing him up? Bit of elbow grease and you should get a good shine, stick him on a bird table and you've got yourself a 'life' like ornamental garden feature.

KatieScarlett2833 · 04/05/2012 15:31

At least Paul will be waterproof for the next 5 years....

PuffofSmoke · 04/05/2012 15:30

I'll take your spay painted pigeon and raise you a crayola'd boxer? See profile picture. Wrote to crayola questioning why their washable pens don't wash off animal fur. Still waiting for a reply.

He's probably getting legal advice. Do you have legal cover on house insurance?

bruxeur · 04/05/2012 15:27

You waxed your pigeon?

It is Friday, I suppose. Bit early though.

entropygirl · 04/05/2012 15:27

Peter is probably flapping madly, all the way to the coin operated sunbeds.....

StealthPolarBear · 04/05/2012 15:25

You think his feet are stuck to the branch?

AnAirOfHope · 04/05/2012 15:24

Lol he is waiting for you to "make ameneds" and has called in reenforcements in case you dont.

If you hear tapping on your bedroom window in the small hour of day - DO NOT OPEN THE WINDOW.

Paul and Dave will get you

Kewcumber · 04/05/2012 15:24

Well Paul can't fly away at all can he - given brown waxy encrustation?

Kewcumber · 04/05/2012 15:23

Yeah the phone. Its the phone's fault...

lilbitneurotic · 04/05/2012 15:23

Yup - defo Peter, as long as he leaves first.

hairylemon · 04/05/2012 15:22

I was so bloody smug when I got this phone aswell and havent really used it to post. Now I know why

Kewcumber · 04/05/2012 15:19

Surely Paul's buddy should be called Peter?

Kewcumber · 04/05/2012 15:18

hairylemon - you are my hero

PandaWatch · 04/05/2012 15:16

hairylemon stop! I can't take it anymore! I'm literally shaking at my desk trying to contain my laughter and I've just had to pretend I was having a coughing fit to cover the laughter-snorts that escaped!

entropygirl · 04/05/2012 15:14

If this doesn't make the talk round up then I will never read it again!
