Hey y'all. If someone already did this, I apologize, but pigeons are cool. When one considers maritime, nautical birds, pigeons don't immediately come to mind. Go to any beach, at least that I've been to, and guess what? Pigeons. Seagulls won't let ya get within 5, 10 feet of em before they start fussin and then fly off. Pigeons are like, "Hey dude. Whazzup? Scopin the waves, man? Me too." As long as you don't pull some crazy a$$ sh!t, they just chill right there with ya. Pigeons are cool.
^^^ See? They'll just hang out with ya on the rock groins, jetties. Not sure aboot them citified Bahston pigeons. Ours are mellow down here.
I was born in Somerville, but left when I was only a few years old. My late Pops was from the old Bahston Italian community. He still had the accent to his last day, even after livin in the South for decades. Funny as heck listenin to him say y'all with that accent. He loved Yastrzemski, Petrocelli, and Tony C.
Ha, no they have their own house outside. I go out at night sometimes because it's easier to catch them, bring them in for pictures.
Zip! That's a pigeon?! Sweet! The best bird experience for me was a Scarlet Tangier hanging close by for a while on a hike. And Bald Eagles in Deleware. Tons of em. Big'uns.
My current flock are Portuguese Tumblers. There are some really cool pigeon varieties. Check this one out This is one of my other favorites. I raised Helmets as a kid
