I'm glad you are enjoying them, Patricia. Thanks for reviewing.

This fifty-word story, Puffed Up with Pride, shows that some won't be pigeon-holed, sit on their own stole, or become a carrier of a broken heart.

Most guys seem to crap on me, why should a pigeon be any different.
Haha,

I like your use of some pigeon-English in this installment.
I must say you are quite inclusive in your search for a suitable mate.
I hope you'll light on a suitable one soon.
Peace, Lee

First off - CONGRATULATIONS on another seal.
Thanks for reviewing this little story. I am closer to arriving at my forever mate; he's worth waiting for (not that I've been waiting, judging by how busy I've been in the dating game with all these critters!)
-
Thanks for the congrats.
I can't help but wonder if you've already settled on your chosen mate?
-
Yes I have. I've written the finale already as a longer piece. The final critter will be obvious when he appears. (Happily, it is a mutual attraction.)
-
Now, you have me intrigued. 'Mutual attraction'. A clue? Never mind. I'll wait with everyone else.

This is funny, feathery nonsense yet again! I thought it was humorous that he 'pecked his things.' I wonder if he had a backpeck? Just think I would add a comma after 'cooing' and that's the only thing to improve on.

Yep, another flight of fancy.
He went backpecking around Europe. Last I heard, he was hanging out at St Marks Square in Venice with another mob.
Thanks for the punctuation check.
Comment from Patty Palmer
I would have thought the worst part would have been hanging around the park for a handout from someone's lunch. And the noise they make is terrible. they have trouble finding shoes you know because they are so pigeon toed!

Yeah, eating stale crumbs is not a good enough meal. I loved your pigeon-toed comment.
Comment from nomi338
Before you attempt to place a carefree bird inside a cage, it would pay big dividends to the bird you desire. Some birds will gladly adapt to life inside a cage, eat the birdseed and sing a happy tune. They would fly to you upon your invitation and return to their cage without hesitation. Other birds might sing inside the cage , but they would only sing songs of freedom and at the first opportunity they would fly away and never look back. Spurning all the things that you had done to make them happy.

Your review is wise in the ways of freedom. Captivation of hearts and minds is a tricky affair, because mutual expectations are hard to achieve, no matter how well appointed the cage..
Comment from poetwatch
I like to hear and see them when they are billing and cooing, LisaMay. They are beautiful as well as delicious. :) I use to have many cooped up, but I felt sorry for them and let them all go. I saw them use my home as a landmark and fly circles getting to know the lay of the land. They roost in different homes and have had large families. I wished them well. The only bad thing about having them in a cage is the smell, and around your head is the poop. :) Thank you for sharing.

I found your pigeon story really interesting. You have a soft heart (and a full stomach). Pigeon poo is possibly good for the garden as nutrient?
Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Well Lisamay, you have finally reached the bottom of the barrel. Pigeons are the rats of the sky. You really have to keep shopping at this point. You need to make sure this is not a homing pigeon so when you run him off he won't come back. Robert

Nah - I went to the bottom of the barrel a while back when i dated that dung beetle. Thanks for the tip about when I run that pigeon off. It might be a good idea to move address.
-
At least dung beetles have a purpose.:)))
-
And pigeons make good eating. Yum - pigeon pie.
-
I'm sure I have never had pigeon pie. :(
-
Me neither! But I guess it's probably like chicken pie.

:))))
