Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gill Osborne" data-source="post: 1469130" data-attributes="member: 143965">Folk seem to hate them just because they are common :smoke:   There's one woman in our small town who, despite being an active birder all her life, seems to have this vendetta against them which, to me anyway, seems rather hypocritical of her :C    If she REALLY wants something to complain about she should get up and walk the town at 5.30am as I do (I'm on my way to work then) and see all the vomit/takeaway cartons/broken glass/cigarette butts etc lying around the streets. It's not the pigeons which do all of this!!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />    I like pigeons of all sorts - tame, feral and the wild species - they're a really lovely bird when you actually take off the blinkers and look at them! :t:</blockquote>
