I found something today

Pigeons

Pigeons can save peoples life. They send messages to some people to ask for help.
Pigeons can fly very fast. They have nice colours on there neck. They are small but very
helpful. Some bad boys and girls chase them. You see alot of them in town. Some of
us may think they do not have ears you just cant see them becaus they are underneath their feathers.
Pigeons are afraid of us. They help in almost every way. We are lucky to have pigeons
on our planet. Pigeons do not live as long as us. Pigeons are very nice.

It's true!

What, nothing about them being disease carrying flying rats?

you are the best pigeon

Typical. i'd say we're lucky to have pigeons even if they weren't helpful at all to people. What a self-important text that is.

That kind of thinking is the very source of moral degeneration.

Claire - did you know that something you wrote at school at the age of 6 was the "very source of moral degeneration" of western civilisation?

6 year olds do have a tendency to be quite self-important anyway. I think it's part of being 6 years old.

Pigeons are MAJOR groovy, by the way.

Bloody sky-rats.

Clicky

Our dog found a pidgeon chick in our garden in early 1982.
It apparently had fallen out of the nest in a storm during the previous night.
We kept it as pet, initially my father wanted to make sure it was at health and then get it back to the nest, But it soon became obvious it´s parents wouldn´t recognize it anymore, and so it stayed with us. Without a cage or anything, like a dog or cat (which, by the way, didn´t cause major problems with our dog and our cat).
And it was absolutely cute! I must say I absolutely like these birds, even find them a bit fascinating. Can you see magnetic fields? Well-they can!
Oh, and Claire: That´s sooo cute.

If that's you...

WILL YOU MARRY ME, PIGEON MAN?

can I just say I had slightely less of a fun time with your feathered friends, Claire? Those cheeky buggers were eating all over me on Trafalgar Square.



My friend used to have one tamed. He was an astonishing animal - way smarter than any dog.

They have Knowledge

And what a self absorbed reply this is. You never even realised that she was just 6 at the time, did you? They must have surgically removed your sense of humor early on in your life. Either that or you were born with that severe deficiency...

Yup, that's me.
That was quite an astonishing moment, just having them walking all over me totally unafraid. Really brings out the tree-hugging hippy in a person.

Oh, don't worry about it, Raf. I was as much of an annoying wee sh!te back then as I am now

itnAklipse is actually right. If you weren't all so ignorant and brainwashed you could see that I have consistently contributed and held up a mirror to all the ills we see in our world today. It has to be said. In my teens I produced "Leviathan" during one wet weekend, and I'm now working on a new one, snappily entitled "Mein Kampf". It neatly sums up my worldview and I reckon it'll have quite an impact.

It's just as well you've all been warned because I won't stop churning out my putrid evil until all of humanity is lying in a pile of smoking ruins.

ive heard theyr'e quite good with dark bitter chocolate sauce??!!

@ MH: is that St Marco's square in Venice?

You're hot when you're genocidal.
I take it you now associate yourself with the 'Bad Boys and Girls' who chase pigeons, yes?

Narf!
