Dunno why I'm posting this but.... I've lived in my flat for five years. Out the back there are some very pretty gardens with lots of birds foxes etc. A pair of wood-pigeons has lived in the big tree out there since I moved in. I have a small roof terrace and they used to come and sit on the railings. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I was walking home and saw a dead wood-pigeon on the pavement. I hoped it wasn't one of "my" pair, but ever since, I keep seeing one of them sitting alone on the ralings (as just now). I know I'm anthropomorphising madly, but he/she seems really forlorn. So, does anyone know, are wood-pigeons one of those birds that pair for life. I'm hoping my one might find a new partner. It just looks so sad sitting there on its own....
