It’s spring!
And the pigeons are horny!
Pigeons are a part of daily life in London. They’re everywhere, hovering, waiting for you to drop any scrap of food. I’m also convinced that one faked an injury to fool me into throwing him a piece of my lunch. Only later did I realize he looked heavier than the rest. Conniving little …
Anyway, on my walk today, there were plenty of pigeons prancing about, and nearly every male was fluffed and on the prowl. The dudes strut and coo and make general fools of themselves for the ladies — none of which I saw take advantage of the offers of lovin’. Females trot away until they get fed up completely, then they fly away across whatever body of water is nearest.
I didn’t get a video because that’s pervy.
Here’s a photo instead.
All of this is to say, pretty much everyone in London is grateful and giddy for the most recent two days of sunshiny weather. Luckily I haven’t seen any of the humans acting like the pigeons.
