Polly vs the Walking Flock.

[den]

I arrived home from work to find Polly sniffing at the black & white pigeon. The bird was on its back with its feet in the air. Polly was bumping the body with her nose. She looked happy to see me until I shoulted "POLLY YOU MONGREL! BADDOG! BADDOG! Ohh, you bloody... wait until I get hold of you!" The dog sank into the short grass and did a high-speed, belly-on-the-ground slink back to the kennel, where she hid under the blankets.

I sighed as I looked at the bird and quickly ran through the lies I would tell Mum about how the bird "just died" or something. I got a plastic bag to act as a body-bag in the bin, and reached for the bird.

The rat rolled over, stood up and walked out of reach. It growled at me* and wandered into the garden.

I hate these birds. Now I have to make Polly happy. Poor dog.




*Prrrrrt!

*mad giggling* I'm sorry, I can't help it, but that's a clever bird. *helpless giggling about which I feel very bad indeed*

Aw, poor Polly. :(

But even if she had been sniffing at its dead body, there's a chance it could have just keeled over dead and fallen into the yard, or gone there to die of natural causes, no?

Were it my yard, I'd suspect a Cooper's hawk attack.

You see? Polly is basically misunderstood, and really deserves lots of treats.

Oh yeah. She was allowed INSIDE last night.

...Okay, that's the first time I'd ever heard of a pigeon growling..

It's a lot like a normal pigeon noise, but deeper. And the bird only does it when I get close. In fact, when I catch it, it whacks my hand with its good wing and tries to claw me. bastard.

Poor Polly. Now she knows just how devious those birds can be!

Shifty, says I!

I didnt realize pigeons play opossum. I encounter them all the time walking downtown to the bus stop once I get off from work. Generally, they glare at you and curse you out if you get in their way. If you get one that has a bad drunk on (or something) they will peck at you.

Poor Polly...
