Pigeons!

I hate strongly dislike pigeons.  I have heard them described as "rats with wings," which I would say is pretty accurate.  :)

Here's the reasoning behind my strong dislike of pigeons.  In our apartment, there's a window in our living room.  It's kind of like a bay window, and above it there's a little overhang.  Well, apparently this space between the top of the bay window and the overhang is an ideal living location for pigeons.  And so they live there, and breed there, and poop there. All over our window.  Connor spent a very good amount of time last year cleaning the window, repainting, and trying to make this space very undesirable to pigeons.

Don't they look gross?

Well, unfortunately it didn't work.  The  pigeons are back, clearly very unconcerned with the great efforts that were put in to deter them from returning.  (Perhaps they even welcomed the clean window and new white paint!)  We can hear the little babies outside the window chirping away during feeding time, and the older ones cooing (or whatever it is that they do).  Blasted pigeons.  

Well, we can always try again this year.  But I have a feeling that the pigeons will be here much longer than we are.  

This is the only kind of pigeon that I do like.
