Mrs Johnboy calls me out to the garden the other day, all excited, she points in the holly tree and she says "I've never seen a baby pigeon before", I replied "You still haven't, that's a baby Collared Dove".

So what did she hit you with??

 

[johnboy]

She gave me one of those special stares.

Or boasting about having a new woman in their life

Or Pakistani Pigeons, as my neighbour calls them.

Friend was in school and on summer's day the window was open and bird was singing loudly just over the window.

Anybody know which bird that is?

Yer man pipes up "gutter snipe"
I think his ear was red for a week.

First outing from the nest straight into the welcoming jaws of one of my cats. Saves on cat food I guess.

I have the opposite - our moggy seems to be deteriorating rapidly so might be looking at the sad option before much longer.

Which is a bit of a bugger as the 360 pouches of cat food I ordered about a month ago turned up on Monday.

Never good when a pets time has come.
If you have spare cat food your local rescue centre will be very grateful.

To be honest the stuff he eats looks and even smells nice. I may be tempted myself in due course.

Or I suppose I could use it as the human equivalent of cat litter if I can't get any bog rolls.

Yes, you are right, never easy but he has had a lovely life after a really,really awful start and has had a decent innings.

He looked like he was on his way out about a year ago and then went back to normal, so he may yet surprise us.

A woman once told me this and swore it was true.
They were in the pub and the women got fed up and went home.
The lads eventually arrived back looking for food.
She found cans of cat food. So she boiled rice added copious spoons of curry powder to the cat food and the lads never knew the difference.

There was a tv advert for dog food years ago - probably in the sixties - where the owner of a dog food company ate the dog food straight from the van, saying that he wouldn't sell,anything he wouldn't eat himself.

If I remember correctly he became very ill with a bad case of distemper.
