Christine of Stine Writing gave us this picture for her Simply 6 Minutes challenge this week.
Various responses raised many smiles from this corner, and I thought I would share this observation from Monday…………….
I was sitting in the car waiting for Hubby and people watching (as you do). I was parked outside our opticians, but had a good view of a bank and its outside ATM.
Two women approached it, and one put in her card while the other preened herself in a mirror. She had blue hair with orange ends and as she waited for her companion, her face changed to one of disgust as she had an extra highlight added from above.
The two women looked up to see about a dozen feral pigeons on the overhanging gable, and the ATM was in the line of fire. Ms Blue, Orange and now White had proven the perfect target and as her friend looked up, she also got one in the eye from a brown and white bird tottering on the edge.
Paper tissues at the ready, the two walked off trying to remove the mess.
A man then took position at the ATM and two birds scored a bullseye on his head.
Some people say it’s lucky. I don’t think any of these three were thinking that at the time.
Pigeons 3 humans nil!
hehe. That’s the way it goes sometimes. Maya got dumped on once so I had to wash her back when we got home!
Those pesky pigeons are laughing at us
We have two in the garden nicknamed Portly and Breast. They are fattening up nicely…………………….
Pigeon pie for tea soon?
The rabbits are getting closer too, so we’ll have a choice!! There are ducks and geese in the park, so we wouldn’t starve.
It’s usually seagulls that get me, they are keen on decorating my car too!
We have seagulls here a lot and they get the baby ducklings. A couple of years ago we saw a group of ducks gang up on a seagull after the babies and they nearly drowned it.
Well done ducks! We have the same problem. There’s a sign in the park across the road from me stating that over 70 ducklings a year are taken by gulls from there alone.
Heartbreaking isn’t it.
Birdie, birdie in the sky,
Why’d you do that in my eye?
I won’t scream and I won’t cry,
I’ll just thank God that elephants don’t fly…
haha!!!
HAHAHA!! The pigeons are nothing! We were strafed by a low flying heron! It was like being hit by a water balloon!!
Ha! Maggie came nose to beak with a heron on the marina pontoon. Neither gave way!
