LOL! You did a stellar job with your pigeon-holed romance. The word play is delightfully entertaining throughout. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

Thanks for your review. I appreciate the loyalty you have shown with reviewing my work.
Comment from Louise Michelle
LOL - nothing worse than bird poop all over you. Maybe you should have put a diaper on him, but that wouldn't be very romantic. Well, girl, that's what you get for trying to have romance with a bird. I hope you didn't try to kiss him - that could have done much damage to your lips. This gives new meaning to the word pecker, haha. Hugs, Lou

I think you can get salmonella from birds, so I definitely did not get near his pecker. I used him as a feather duster.
Comment from Gail Denham
I like it - sometimes I think they should be a bit longer - but that's not a critique - just a thought - for example - "he was restless, kept "feathering" his immediate nest by "clipping" folks at Traflagar Sq. for bread and treats _ something like that
what you've done is got us all "puffed" up with idea for animal boyfriends. I shall never look at a "galibator" again without wondering... ha

I did initially think about making the stories 100 words, but decided short and punchy was better - cut out as much padding as possible.
Comment from Mrs. KT
Hah! Lisa!
Another "hoot!"
Damn pigeons!
One cannot fully appreciate the expression "crapped on" until one personally experiences the sensation! And I have!
Thank you for the smile!

Thanks for reviewing, Diane. I've been crapped on by a seagull. An old Greek gentleman toothlessly nodded and smiled, telling me it was very good luck for me. Yeah?!!
Comment from Dutchie
Such a cute story in so few words, Lisa. It remembers me of my childhood.
We went to the Dam square in Amsterdam to feed the doves. They are always hungry and when the weather becomes colder it's an easy way to get food. Love the information too. :) Fia

Thanks for reviewing, Fia. I love seeing doves and pigeons, but it seems they are not welcome any more.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Pigeon poo is dangerous! Especially if it gets into your eye, evidently it can blind you. Giving this boyfriend the boot was the wisest move! Ha ha ha, love Dolly x

He gave me the poop and I gave him the boot.
Are there still hordes of pigeons at Trafalgar Square or have the hawks scared them away?
I was going to set the scene in St Marks Square in Venice; I remember lots of pigeons there too, but that was too many words.

They do deploy other birds as a way to keep the pigeons down at times, love Dolly x
Comment from JudyE
Forgive me saying so but 'pecked his things' makes it sound like a New Zealand pigeon. lol Throughout Europe, many of the cathedrals, etc have put up little spikes to try to keep the pigeons at bay.

That's what I thought when I wrote 'pecked', too!
Here it is the seagulls that are worse than pigeons. So audacious! Outside dining is a catastrophe some days.

In some of our camping grounds, the kookaburras will fly through under a tent awning and snatch meat off a barbecue. Have I mentioned that before? I think I might have. Apologies if I have.
-
You have mentioned it because I wrote about it too. I've also seen a rat steal a sausage off a grill plate at a camp kitchen.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Good one! Yay, you made it to thirty. Only twenty to go. It's a piece of cake, a no-brainer, a walk in the park. So don't let it drive you up the wall, just burn the midnight oil and get to fifty!

This is another delightful one, my friend. I borrowed (read that stole) your idea and posted one about a bumblebee a little bit ago. I hope you don't mind~Debbie

Thanks for reviewing my pigeon. I reviewed your bumblebee a while ago too.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written fifty word about your expertise in the dating zone. A pigeon that likes the billing and coding part but don't like to settle down he will spread his wings and fly away soon.

He was just in it for the sexy stuff - averse to responsibility.
