I once very nearly caught a low-flying pigeon in the middle of a football match during the school lunch break.  Arguably my greatest achievement to date.

You say that like it's odd but where else do you hang out with pigeons?

Apologies Carl. The 'very nearly' and 'greatest achievement' in the same sentence just made me think of them

I have. Our garden is full of bloody pigeons. The proper fat ones mess up the tv when they sit on the ariel. Make a right mess when the neighbour's cats catch them too. Found a baby pigeon on the floor last year, that was traumatic.

 

 

Found these flamboyant pigeons in Thailand a few years ago, much better than ours (photo doesn't do them justice, they were extremely pink).

 

 

 

 

Also, **** funky pigeon.

Around Towm Hall Square the other week and noticed a bunch of three scabby lads maybe 18-19 years old huddled around a bin goading the pigeons, they were trying to entice the pigeons over by chucking greasy smelling chips at them and laughing/gurning hysterically, occasionally lurching forwards when one got within range of a pair of their Air Max 90's. I've casually walked along and pulled out an old trick of lifting my arms up and outwards which usually tricks the pigeons into thinking you are about to take off into flight - it worked and half of the pigeons flapped off much to the delight of the greasy chip eating lads, they were genuinely smiling and impressed by this little interaction, the biggest of the lads exclaimed "Thats amazing mayte!", and I went about my afternoon.

 

Thought I just had to add that
