| What's the problem with collar doves and pigeons?

Er, let's get this right. This is uk.rec.gardening, a gardening
newsgroup. You have been posting here for some time, have shown
evidence of being a gardener, and no evidence of being a troll's
sock puppet.

And you are asking what the problem is with collared doves and
pigeons?

One of us has lost contact with reality ....

I don't know which one, we have collar doves and woodpigeons, they nest in
a large tree in the corner. Rock doves also come into the garden
occasionally. They come into another part of our small garden (of course -
they eat the hen food) but they don't go to other parts and they've not
been a problem. Spouse thinks their raiding the hens' feeders is a problem
but because I like to see them I don't mind.,

He doesn't think that the dunnocks, who also raid the feeders, are a
problem because he likes to see them :-)

We put out wild bird food for other birds too ... they're not a problem.
Even the odd sparrow hawk is only a problem to small birds, they delight
us with their appearance.

So I repeat, what's the problem with collar doves and pigeons?




Th collar doves spend all day annoyingly coocoocooing
and the pidgens can destroy a row of newly sown seed in minutes.
Apart from that they are just lovable Gods creatures !
