You should have heard me say that (while I was typing) as Sideshow Bob. My wife threw a dog toy at me.

He’s gone?

Pie, don’t you like me?  
I’m out in the jungle.  
I’m hungry to hear you.

Coo what you will  
from that sweet little bill.  
Am I near you?  
And now I’ve got Paul Simon running through my head. Ouch. Easy on the hippocampus, there, Paulie.

I think the OP has never watched _Mike Tyson Mysteries._ Or maybe they have.

If it’s a girl pigeon, are you gonna name it Cecily or Gwendolyn?

Hey, **Gato** , what’s “Fee Fi Fo, Fi Fo Fee Fee”? Mike Tyson’s phone number.

Bring me the Cats. I shall get a Chicken to train them and keep them in line (and the next door neighbors convicted cat-killing dogs as well).

You can have ALL the pigeons(tired of the damn things shitting on my car) and I’ll keep my Covey of Quail (and a Chicken also of course)

There are two sisters who live across the street from us. Nice women. I refer to them as the coo-coo pigeon sisters, in honor of that movie.

We have California scrub jays here that stay year-round. They’re one of the smartest members of the corvid family, being able to remember up to 200 food caches that they’ve created. They’re also very amenable to being friendly to humans and can be coaxed into eating out of your hand. We have four of them that come to the morning peanut banquet I provide.

Turns out Purina doesn’t make pigeon chow. (Yeah, I’m writing a letter)  
I’m pretty sure bread crumbs aren’t in their natural diet.  
What exactly do pigeon keepers feed their birds?

Update: **lil’Pie** may have broght a friend. I heard twice as much coo-ing today.

(This excercise in foolishness is gonna get me trouble, I see the writing on the wall:smack: )
