They leave a beautiful print of themselves on the glass, especially the
pigeons!

Has somebody been watching too much 'Tom & Jerry'?


No, that's absolutely correct. My mother, who 'inherited' pigeons in a loft
beside the garages of the house she and my father bought 50 years ago, tells
me just the same thing. In her case, the impression is left on her dining
room windows which face south east.

All I can say is "Yiiikes!!!"

On a higher intellectual level, though, I can also recommend to all
avians a brief story by James Thurber in which a seemingly wise old
bird rashly pontificated "...There is no such thing as air
crystallizing."
