After a good meal and a kip. Wonderful. And yes, wonder what she knows? There was a book about racing pigeons that came out a couple of years ago… made me think very differently about them. I reviewed it for the FT: https://www.ft.com/content/f36b35a4-86e1-11e9-b861-54ee436f9768
What a great story! I think you dealt with this all very well. I’d have let it in and then tried to convince Alex to let me keep it. I keep seeing things at the moment about how all feral pigeons are descendants of domesticated homing pigeons and so really do think they should be looked after by us. But we shun them, which must be confusing for them. Anyway, you did a good deed and gave the pigeon a story to tell its pigeon friends.
Aww pidge! Hope it got home safe
She (we thought of her as such) certainly was recharged when she left us.
I loved thinking about all the stories the pidges must collect as part of their flight path back home.

Love that! And love the nod to La Lamott.
Love the cobweb head needy pigeon!
