Pigeons

[agricola]

Hit a pigeon once going slight Faster than I should have been
Feck did it hurt  nearly lost the bike ( not my Fazer) just held on to the handle bars with my finger tips

It flew straight into to me Head on , I had a bruise across my chest for days, and it was a good 1/2 hour before I was able to breath properly and ride the rest of the way to work

The pigeon sat there at the side of the road for 30 seconds then flew off !

I would not recommend trying it !

It seems Wood Pigeons are one of those species that has prospered in recent years, now likely the most common garden bird. Great piles of pigeon shite under most lamp posts around here, most mornings I have to hose down the patios to wash it away. I used to shoot the foccers, along with the grey tree rats, but my family thought it cruel. The biggest problem was disposing of the corpses
