Just A Thought

[Spoonboy]

Hello Abers one and all. Before I log out and say night, night, I thought that I'd leave you with this thought...

...why don't you ever see baby pigeons?!

Because they squabble too much?

[shoota]

Very good choux.

[Mamyalynne]

Seen them ugly little blighters.

If you are a harvester of wild food you quite frequently do see young pigeons (squabs) in the spring and early summer. They are considerably less wary than an older bird and tend to fly in straight lines.
They stay in the nest for 3 weeks to a month, can fly as soon as they leave and they are then only marginally smaller than an adult so it is difficult to distinguish young from old.

cats get them.

… because you're not looking in the right places.

[Spoonboy]

Har, har, choux.

I concur with Canary42. They're around.
In fact when I was in the 6th grade my science teacher told us how he and a fellow science teacher took in two orphaned baby pigeons. They died shortly after however as they hadn't acquired the immunity chemical or something of the kind that comes from feeding from the mother.

Why don't you see a black man walking a dog?

Why don't you see an Asian funeral?

Why don't you see a jockey with a moustache?

[cupid04]

You never see a fat China man either, yet I put on pounds eating Chinese take aways!

[Spoonboy]

Lol Cupid, you deserve a Spoony Dip. for that one. But I do like posting funny har har's and getting more serious posts.

andy asked:
"Why don't you see an Asian funeral?"

I think there are special Muslim cemeteries now ( I think headstones or something probably have to face Mecca)- so maybe you have never had cause to visit?

[Spoonboy]

Good point factor: a gold variety spoony for you.
