To long for a world free from cunting pigeons

[HoneyDragon]

Because the dog

Won't

Stop

Barking

At

Them

And they just it there staring.

Going

Coo, coo, coo. All day.

Bark, coo, bark, coo.

I apologised to the neighbours, thankfully they haven't noticed the dog. They will when I run after the feathery bastards with a chain saw though.

See, we are a nation of animal lovers (warning Dail Mail link). I don't dislike our wood pigeons and collared doves here, but whenever I see seagulls I wonder why they are so far inland, as I live in a land locked county.

Two wood pigeons keep coming into my garden. I think they're still trying to nest - do the fat fuckers breed all year round?

They're so bold/lazy they don't get scared when I rattle the back door any more. I have to find my shoes and go right up to them with a-gun--

And the greedy bastards devastated the new leaves in the spring before I noticed.

YANBU. Crashdog hates them too!

i like to read in the local paper about people whinging about being divebombed by nesting seagulls. dont live on the coast then you stupid twats.

dont have a problem with pigeons either though, theyre pretty cute

I love pigeons. Love gulls even more. I grew up by the sea, in a fishing town, and nearly every house had a pair of Herring Gulls nesting on the roof. We lived in a very tall thin house, and I loved going to the top floor and looking across the rooftops of the town to watch the gulls going about their daily life in their own 'town' that was superimposed on the humans' town.

limited, yes, the fat fuckers do breed all year round

Other than the amorous pair who wake me up shagging on my fence at 5am every bloody morning, pigeons aren't too much of a problem here

Seagulls on the other hand, hate them

Get rid of the dog. Problem solved.

:(

You don't have to live on the coast to be dive-bombed by gulls.

I once saw two fighting in the road over a pigeon that had been run over

They flew off with a wing each and it tore and its guts landed inches from me

Don't worry CuntingPigeon my cat loves watching you.

Even if she only wants to eat you.

Coo Coo

I hate those mad pigeon-fanciers who buy Value loaves reduced to a penny and feed the bastards.

Supermarkets should be banned by law from selling more than one Value loaf to anyone with a tartan Sholley.

Gulls can shit on you at will, can't they?

i am so pleased to see this thread. i fucking hate pigeons. our dog caught 5 of them one weekend and they still didn't go away. they build rubbish nests, the baby birds fall out on my decking and have to be cleared up. they squeeze themselves into my tiny bird house and frighten away all the nice birds (robins, jays) and they shit all over my lawn. hate them. gardeners have offered to shoot them for me but no doubt more will appear to take their place.

We had a nest of collared doves in our chimney. Our fire was unusable, but the chimney still intact. The fuckers would coo down the chimney all the fucking time, and it would echo into our living room.

In Sri Lanka they have sleek green-and-orange pigeons. With blue eyes. Which hide discreetly in tree-tops. 3.bp.blogspot.com/-4ZOUSurpejE/UXfsouJtcEI/AAAAAAAAEBQ/jJxFTYd3dE4/s1600/Pic51.jpg Still like our grey, fat, annoying ones though

They are rubbish nest-builders mrsravelstein.

My two tried to squeeze their fat arses into a nest that had been left the year before by blackbirds. I thought they'd work out that it was too small but they didn't. I had to knock it down in the end and cut some branches to make the bush less inviting.

They still come back. The only thing that would make my bush less inviting is if I burned it down with them in it.

That green and orange one looks like something that might hatch after a radiation leak.

apparently they keep coming back to the same nest site no matter what you do. we got rid of the wisteria over our decking mainly because of the bloody dead baby pigeon scenario, but they don't seem to have noticed the absence of tree.

It's the magpies for me, little bastards attacking all the baby birds, making all the mummies constantly peep. I'm in and out like a yoyo trying to scare them off.

Thanks for reminding me HoneyDragon
We are contemplating relocating back to the UK
Top of my list of cons of moving back to London is going to be pigeons.
A great event would be a London pigeon cull - prizes for the most bagged .
Also could have a shot at eliminating
the stupid wee smelling old codgers who
keep lard and breadcrumbs for them and
tip it out on public paths.

Goshawks have colonised the centre of Berlin and are eating loads of feral pigeons. Go to a Berlin park for lunch and you'll probably see a goshawk catch and disembowel a pigeon within the hour. Goshawk numbers in the UK are increasing, so maybe the same thing will happen in London. There are also the peregrines, dozens of pairs in London now - 47% of the diet of an urban peregrine is pigeons and doves.

Gerund! Wonderful nick.

I want you to know though, that if in RL you are Fraulein bitching Karcher who tried to teach me German grammar, then you failed.

Utterly.

Peregrines in London has blown my tiny mind. I hope they are accompanied by minstrels, gentlefolk wearing garters, destriers, capering jesters etc.
