Pigeons Dying Jan 08, 2008
Seemed a bit like 'end of the days' . Got out of office for a puff in the misty morning and found atleast 25 pigeons takin their last breaths.
Could cold be the reason?

:) I'm falling in love with animals of other species after all these years of trial and error.

My mission is to be a complete veggie.. which seems highly unlikely..

It's really not normal... at all.

Still could be 'an' avian flu, but not 'the' avian flu (HN51).

:shock: ..I dont think i understood what the guy at the complaint centre said..
'no broblem the health authorities are aware.. '
I wanted to inform it and probably have it checked if anything is wrong.
'no broblem.. its begaus lot of begions her and ther making problems'
No I was worried if its some avian flu.
'NO no no broblem.. they are killing.. begion.'

There was no point I cut the call.

Well, if they say they're aware of the problem, and there's too many pigeons, and they're onto it... I think reading between the lines then yes they are the cause of it.

You either love them or hate them.

I have a photo collection of pigeons from all over the world, from Glasgow to Goa.

no mate, they are scavengers and carry/harbour some seriously infectious diseases. In the UK they border on a serious public health issue

The only good thing about pidgeons are dead pigeons.

What ever happened to that one.. no one knows though.. after the time of great repression no one's heard of it.. now it appears to be more of a mystical society..
