wood pidgeon life span
"Sue" wrote in message reenews.net... They did used to attack my veg and strip the broccoli until we netted the plants, but they also make a horrible mess everywhere they go. The the birdbath for instance: I go and clean it out and add fresh water - then the pigeons arrive, throw their weight about so the other birds can't get a look in, have a nice drink and then turn round and poop in it! Wood pigeons don't use our bird bath at all - the collar doves do. All the small birds deposit in it though :-) I clean it regularly. They're the same on the birdtable if I put any loose food out, hogging the lot and making a fine old mess. I wouldn't mind if there were only one or two, but they seem to be taking over the neighbourhood like some sort of avian gangster mob! ;-) Tht's a shame, it's not my experience though. I've threatened to get an air gun, but I'm probably too much of a softie to use it really. Well, I do like pigeon breasts ... Mary -- Sue |
