As a child I had a one legged pigeon called monty. He couldn't land properly and would list to one side in an amusing fashion. So yabu, pigeons make good pets.

Vallhala · 02/06/2010 22:33

I take it you don't like them then?

YABU, pigeons are much misunderstood!

cyb · 02/06/2010 22:34

they are def rats with wings. AND they encourage those batty old ladies who pull a shopping trolly full of white bread around

PigeonPie · 02/06/2010 22:34

I completely agree - best in pies!

GeraldineAubergine · 02/06/2010 22:35

Also pigeons are very tasty when served with a nice sauce.

MrsDrOwenHunt · 02/06/2010 22:37

Also if there is a big flock of them and you throw grain it makes a good sound. I should get a job with the pigeon marketing board.

LetThereBeRock · 02/06/2010 22:40

YABU.

MrsDrOwenHunt · 02/06/2010 22:44

YADNBU but I hate people who feed them from park benches even more. They should be erradicated for causing a big flapping, greedy flock of the flying vermin to surround you....... Yuck, hate them.

MrsDrOwenHunt · 02/06/2010 22:49

they are the flying boyzone kill the all!!

YANBU pls see my reasons here

pjmama · 02/06/2010 22:50

One word..... PIE!!!

whomovedmychocolate · 02/06/2010 22:50

Snort at 'flying boyzone'

GeraldineAubergine · 02/06/2010 22:52

I find geese far more offensive than pigeons. More poo, louder honking, more agressive, smellier. Geese are the real denizens of the avian world.

MrsDrOwenHunt · 02/06/2010 22:53

so lets kill pigeons, woodpigeons, seagalls ans magpies?

OP posts:
Bellagio · 02/06/2010 23:02

and big black crows < shudder >

millimurphy · 03/06/2010 08:03

So you want to kill any wildlife you find offensive? Pigeons are much maligned for doing what comes naturally. The only other species that can surpass the pigeon in terms of being noisy, crapping everywhere and indiscriminately mating are humans. I don't hear any cries for a mass cull in that area?

cocolepew · 03/06/2010 08:06

And bats, rats and mice.

Oh and badgers.

And cats.

sanielle · 03/06/2010 08:09

YABVU

What is the purpose of any species?
Humans trash the earth and overpopulate it. And are noisy and loud..

I would think the pigeons less unreasonable for trying to get rid of us!

whomovedmychocolate · 03/06/2010 08:27

I don't do indiscriminate mating or crapping everywhere

If you do perhaps you have bigger problems than pigeons?

darkandstormy · 03/06/2010 08:28

Perhaps they hate you too.

MrsDrOwenHunt · 03/06/2010 08:39

i dont care if they hate me!! if you were woken up every 5am by ronan and yvonne cooing and billing loudly would you be happy then? shall i send them over to your house so that they can shit and lay bloody twigs and eggs all over the tiny space you have that is outside? no thought not

tinywelsh · 03/06/2010 08:59

millimurphy have you seen the chav menace in my area? I'm all for a cull!

YANBU mrsdrowenhunt I hate pigeons, they are diseased, disgusting, noisy, they stare at you if you try to eat your lunch in the park, coming closer with their beady little pus-filled eyes, i mean why should i give them my crumbs, demanding bastards... back to topic.

I totally support the idea in my area to bring in a couple of trained hawk/ falcons to bring the numbers down. They ruin the historic buildings by either covering them with distructive crap or having to cover them with spikes

darkandstormy · 03/06/2010 09:01

I do have them everywhere as I am yards away from a small wood.I sleep in a loft conversion so they do wake me up, as do the magpies, but I don't hate them.
