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

[threeineachlobe]

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.

This is the funniest statement I have read in ages.

I am sniggering, but lip curling too. I hate and fear birds in equal measure. I'd jsut wait for it to fall off its perch.

At least it was brown paint. Imagine the embarrassment in pigeon land if it had been bright pink or something.

Do you live on Pigeon Street?

I think the pigeon has had its first and last spray tan. Please don't take a pigeon to the vets, they are pests, and not worth spending money on. Could you put it out of i's (potential) misery somehow - boomerang?

Actually LOL'd at a thread for the first time ever! Thank you!

Well at least little Paul will be ok when it rains now...

PMSL you should get a mn award for best thread title.

The poor bird might be thinking "what did i do? First paint and then water - she must be pigionist. Im going to tell my birdy mates about her"

i wouldnt hang the washing out for a week or two birds take a long time to get over things like this.

Bluerinse

I feel guilty for finding this funny.

If you can't catch it though not much you can do - it may have helped rid the vermin pidge of a few fleas

He'll be the envy of all his pigeon friends.

I love threads like this on MN. Titles like "AIBU To throw water over a pigeon I've just spray painted", followed by Selyna's hilarious post are just priceless

I wonder if this is what keeps happening to David Dickinson, there's not a tanning product on earth that could produced his rich mahogany tones.

Don't worry, it'll probably get a job presenting an antiques auctioning programme....

Stop! Stop! My sides are hurting!!!!

Nothing to add but

You may find he will fly down and ask you to do the rest because the rest of his friends thought that is took years off him

Still guilt-ridden, but love the fact he's got a name. Sorry Paul!

"I wonder if this is what keeps happening to David Dickinson"

Christ, I'd do a fuck of a lot more that spray some paint over him if David Dickinson popped up from behind my garden fence!

brilliant title OP

I keep thinking about poor Paul the pigeon in little paper pants

I need help

Oh Reeaally Rindercella !!

Good job you don't live in Australia... link!

Rindercella Big grin:

Arf! I was thinking I would be thwacking him over the head rather than anything else Gin

To be fair though, if he managed to fly off, I'm sure he'll be fine. Plus he's now better camoflaged!

David dickinson's gonna get laaaaaid.

I am actually about to do a laugh-wee! Poor paul maybe the colour will bring out his eyes?
