Oops!

Pero the pigeon was one of my regulars and I shot him some years back. The balcony was always a mess after he had left. My bond with him was so strong that I even featured him in a coloured post once, but could not help posting another photo of him, this time in selective colouring.

As you can tell from the picture Pero was a pretty pigeon, but lacked self control.

P.S. WordPress messes up my colours and contrasts, but if you click on the photo to zoom in, you’ll get a pretty accurate version.

  8. It usually happens when they get “shot” and you know that most pigeons are gun shy. Then again, pigeons are messy birds naturally producing a lot of..well you know what. Great oops!

  12. Pigeons are a plague… Paris is infected with them. All buildings have to be fitted with tiny plastic barbs. Any space that is overlooked is immediately a Pigeon squat.
    Comment va le genou? Bien?
    Attention, demain c’est samedi 12. Pas trop de courses de Noël.

Mientras: ánimo! Take it easy on your knee for a few days, think of Christmas, and you will be fine (or at least better) in a few days. Qu’est-ce tu fais à Noël? La famille, les amis se réunissent?
                (Comme je pars en voyage lundi, je n’aurais pas bcp d’internet, donc: Joyeux Noël et Un excellente année 2016) Comment dit-on en Croate ou Slovéne ou ta langue maternelle? 🙂

  16. Wonderful photo – a really handsome bird (when not disgracing himself). My daughter runs a form of protracted warfare with the pigeon who is determined to rear it’s young on her London balcony and she is equally determined to rear vegetables. I can’t see any chance of either winning.
