Birdies

[loracs]

Since I may be writing more about the pigeons I watch during my lunch hour, I thought I needed a pigeon icon. This bird was in South Lake Tahoe and if you look closely, he is missing his right foot. Yesterday, I feed approx. six pigeons and two of them had a foot problem. One was missing a toe and the other had an abscess on one foot. Both limped and one was in enough pain to fly even short distances, such as five or six feet.

When I was a student in London, lo those many years ago, I observed a lot of mutant-ish flaws in many of the pigeons. Head/eye tumors, deformed feet, deformed beaks. I wondered if it was all the pollution in the air/water.

Totally non sequitor - thanks for the e-card the other day. Made me laugh!!
