I love the Emo Pigeon! OP your emo pigeon army will appreciate cheese and ham as well as peanuts. Who or what do you plan to sic 'em on?!
Birds are wonderful. They are the only surviving dinosaurs. I really hope the blue tits who nested in my garden last year come back again, but my neighbour did some brutal pruning so I don't think they will.
My dad had very intelligent and friendly robins that visited him in his garden for years. He called them all BA (short for Batman's Assistant).
On our school run there is a road lined on either side with tall, thick, bushy hedges and birds swoop and swerve madly between them, above all our heads, and nestle inside them chattering loudly. I look around and it seems I am the only human who notices.
I loved it during lockdown when you could hear so much more birdsong because of less traffic. You'd make a business call and hear birds singing down the phone because the person was working from home next to an open window.
It makes me laugh to think how they sound so sweet and melodic to us but often what they are actually saying is "Oi fuck off, this is my fucking tree!" 😄
