Suicidal pigeon
« on: May 23, 2008, 10:42:18 AM »
So there I was, outside the office having a fag and minding my own business, when out of the corner something falling from the roof caught my eye.

Splat!

A pigeon hits the deck in a cloud of dust and feathers. Lots of claret, messy - it's put me off my rare roast beef sandwich.  sick2:

Do pigeons top themselves? Do they have heart attacks whilst perched atop a five storey building?  It also has a tag on its leg. Why do they tag pigeons?

Homing pigeons are usually tagged. The correct thing to do is remove the tag and contact the RPRA and give them the details from the ring. They will let the owner know.
You can report the matter on line if you wish http://www.rpra.org/Default.aspx?tabid=100

I used to work with a guy that was driving along one summer with his car window open.

He passed a big truck thing that was releasing racing pigeons.

One of them hit his door mirror, was decapitated and entered the car, flapping around spraying blood everywhere.

Not suicide but a great story!  ;D

It's a pile of mush. If you think I'm going to remove the tag from a flying rat then you are much mistaken!

Give it an hour and the local Albanians will have had it for the pot...
