Whilst on the subject of pigeons, a sad tale to relate today.
I was talking to a fellow kiosk owner on the pier today, when we heard a dull thud.
We went out side to find a fine looking pigeon in distress on the floor.
To me, it looked stunned, but it could not get to its feet, nor could it lift its head.
I could not figure out if it had simply crashed, or what had happened.
I was worried that it had broken its neck, plus the fact that I might be frightening it by my close proximity.
I gave it a few minutes peace to see if it would get itself sorted, but I could see it was struggling.
So, I went to grab my camera/phone to see if my good friend Merddin Emrys had a bed in his poorly pigeon's hospital.
But just as I was talking the picture (below) to send to him, the bird closed its eyes and died. :weeping:
It was ringed with a purple plastic ring, and a green one on the other leg.
The bird didn't have the usual red looking legs either, it had pinky flesh coloured feet!
