BIRD BRAINS

These two extremely stoooopid pigeons are building a nest …….

……. and they are gathering materials from the bottom of the garden.

They either try and pick up something that is growing or a twig that is actually a small branch. Useless.

They’ve been down there for several days being Useless, with the occasional glance in my direction. Up to this morning I have just shrugged my shoulders. I finally gave in however when Mr Pigeon tried for the 57th time to take off with a long twig, got caught up in the elderberry tree and crash landed on next door’s shed – I’ve just been down there and broken all the large twigs into manageable sized pieces.

Oh …… *thinks* ………… I wonder if they’ve been doing a ‘Tom Sawyer’ on me? – perhaps they’re not as stoooopid as I thought ……….

(Hmmm. It’s more reminiscent of you loading the dishwasher….. Lo,TG Ed)

    Nothing wrong with an avian civil partnership I suppose – I wouldn’t hold out much hope for a cluster though…..

    obviously nothing at all wrong with avian civil partnerships except they have no bloody idea how to feather a nest .. just sayin’??? But their interior design will be to die for darling!

    I’m thinking something flocked ………

    70steen replied:

    yes I am sure there could be some textured pieces depending on what seed is sucked (re Noter and succeed!)

    I expect they’ll have a very tasteful doorbell that goes “Gribbet Gribbet” powered by a pigeon toad ….

    70steen replied:

    looking at the photo again it looks like they have had a rather feathery tiff about the choice of doorbell or flock design?? The one on the right looks well miffed

    Is that a euphemism? ……….

    I was hoping for your famous pigeon pie recipe.

    daddyp replied:

    It’s a secret recipe of course [but I would say that racing pigeons are the most moist bird]

    Actually, i’d beg to differ, i’ve seen lots of videos starring moist birds.

    Ah, synchronised swimming! – a most excellent sport dude …..

    Maybe they aren’t building a nest because they aren’t a couple: 2 pigeons showing each other the butt aren’t that lovely dovely.

    I’m pretty sure they are …… she’s probably telling him what to do and he’s sulking …….

    there is an art to being strategically inept… Mr. Pigeon is apparently a master!

    I’m convinced that I’ve been taken for a ride …… oh well

    pigeons gonna think “knew if i tried to pick it up enough times i would eventually succeed”.
