Pigeons

[sniffnoy]

Have I ever talked here about pigeons?

Ever since I was little, I have wanted to pick up a pigeon. I used to always chase the pigeons around, trying to get close enough to pick one up, without scaring it away.

One day, I got *really* close - I was about to pick the bird up - but right then my mom saw me, and stopped me - it's a dirty bird, she said, you might get sick.

I still want to pick up a pigeon someday. I'll use gloves, I figure.

Last night I had a dream where I touched a pigeon and had to go to the hospital. I told my mom about this at dinner today, and she said pigeons can have fungi, which are really nasty to treat.

I still want to pick up a pigeon.

I snuck up on and touched a pigeon after my backpack was stolen. I was pissed off, and it was a sort of meditation.

Hooray for pigeons.
P-I-D-G-E-O-N. is still how I think it should be spelled. But whatever.

Pigeons are scary!!! Sparrows are so much nicer.
But I imagine the squirrels around here might climb right into your hands sometimes. I've definitely heard stories of them climbing up people's legs.

You know, even if you do manage to touch a pigeon, you would end up in a struggle trying to hold it, since it's not likely that it'll just sit there in your hands waiting for you to release it--it'd start flapping and struggling and you'd lose it. :-P

Huh, that's weird...until now I actually thought it was spelled pidgeon. :-P

I don't care... I just want to pick it up.

A bird sat on me once. I think it was after my sandwich. It took me about 15 minutes to get it off. It was scary.

I'm not sure what kind of bird it was. I'm fairly sure it wasn't a pigeon. It was small.

Now Seagulls, they are evil!! O.o?
