Urban Myth Unveiled

Pigeons are indeed tasty little birds, not the town hall variety though. Kinda like big quail, cooked medium rare with crispy skin, over some braised lentils and savoy cabbage, with wood ear mushrooms and a little jus - superb!

I like pigeons, I like all animals.

I know a bloke,a pigeon fancier,that kills the ones who are shit at racing.
It's a cut throat world,pigeon racing.

It's The Sun.:)

There's a massive resurgence of woodpigeons at the moment, not sure why as they're as thick as two short planks. Even my old cat could catch one that was four times her size. But as clefty said, you could probably shoot and eat them. My local butchers sells 'em for £1.50 a pop. I'm sure they've just gone into brockwell park with a loaf of bread and a sack.

Aren't pigeons similar to rats in their reliance on our food waste? Rats are so dependent on eating our scraps (and therefore saving us from a hugh pile of kebab on the street) that they would be some of the first species to die off if mankind didn't exist?

Sorry - I had to kill the ones that roosted on our balcony & shat everywhere so the kids couldn't go out & I had to scrub it down every month. Disgusting.

Heh heh your grammar WAS nearly as bad as mine.

you could go pigeon fishing, line hook and a piece of bread.
saves having to un-lead your pigeon after you've shot it for your pigeon pie :)

Or sit in my front room and wait for one to fly into the window as they do once or twice a month.

What a splendid chap.

He's either cold, or he's about to try and fuck you. I've seen it before.

Getting puffy is the pigeon equivalent of a boner it seems..

Ha!

in my parent's back garden we have had several generations of truly colossal pigeons. Because my cat is a lazy fucker, and the trees are quite tall, they don't seem to have any predators. They are really fat, and quite jovial-looking. And they're loud as well, they sound like owls!!
