I just saw a pigeon try to get laid... and fail.

I saw 2 sparrows at it the other day!

But you get my point. Pigeon chicks are skanks.

They keep away if puppy is out there, but the deck isn't puppy's favorite place; he'd rather lounge around inside.

It's crazy, I just shooshed them away 10 minutes ago, and Mr Pidgeon just landed on the railing again. :-P

i actually like pigeons. i think if there weren't so many of them, people would think they're really pretty, with all the cools colors and stuff...

She just wants to walk around an peck at fallen Corn Nuts. Very common in the pigeon world.

Surprise! It's spring, and there are too many fucking rats with wings that exist in this world. ALL HAIL SEXUALLY INEPT PIGEONS!

Mr and Mrs Pidgeon, sitting on the roof across from my deck, plotting their return....

(I killed a pigeon yesterday...)

you rarely see them at the other extreme of their lives either. The babies (squabs) stay in the nest until they are fully-fledged and indistinguishable from the adults. *Usually*. I saw a squab that had fallen out of its nest once and was making its way along the platform of baker street tube station. Ppl were staring at it in disbelief coz they genuinely didn't know what it was - hardly any feathers on its head at all and big bulging eyes. What i'd imagine a baby dino to look like in fact.

The Pomeranian Eye Crested Highfliers are related to the Danzig Highflyer which is similar in size, general appearance and the flying style. Today the main differences are: The Pomeranian has eye crests, the Danzig none; the shell crest of the Pomeranian should have rosettes in opposite to the Danzig; the Danzig has an ached tail whereas the Pomeranian has a small one. Finally the eye cere of the Pomeranian is red, of the Danzig light, and the head of Pomeranian is more rounded.

From old sources on these breeds it can be taken for sure that both breeds are of quite the same origin and that in former time both breeds were taken as subgroups of the same breed. Dürigen (1906) and Prütz (1885) in describing the Danzig mentioned that also sometimes birds with eye crests at one or both sides exist and that these birds at that time were called "Klappentümmler". Wolter in an article from 1936 tells us, that around 1877 his father got a couple of white eye crested highfliers which were quite equal to the later Pomeranian and that he had found a lot of Danzig at that time, possessing that trait. There are additional hints in literature that the Pomeranian was developed only by selection from the original Danzig.

As I can confirm from my own experience, several of the Pomeranian in all colorations are able to fly for some hours in great height up to becoming invisible. As is the case also for Danzig Highfliers, Pomeranians do not tumble.

'WINKIE' - NEHU 40 NSI - Awarded December 1943. " For delivering a message under exceptionally difficult conditions, and so contributing to the rescue of an Air Crew while serving with the RAF in February 1942.

'WILLIAM OF ORANGE' - Awarded May 1945. "For delivering a message from the Arnhem Airborne Operation in record time for any single pigeon, while serving with the APS in September 1944." This pigeon was released at 4.30am with an important despatch and performed the unequalled feat of covering 260 miles - 135 of them over sea in 4 hours 25 minutes to its home loft. The flying speed was therefore 1740 yards per minute, nearly 60 miles per hour, showing great endurance and determination.

'WHITE VISION' - Awarded December 2nd 1943. "For delivering a message under exceptionally difficult conditions and so contributing to the rescue of an air crew while serving with the RAF in October 1943." A flying-boat had to ditch off the Hebrides at 8.20 one morning. Sea-rescue operations were hindered by very bad weather and air search was impossible because of thick mist. At 5pm that afternoon White Vision arrived at the loft with a message giving the position of the ditched aircraft and as a result the search was resumed, the aircraft sighted and rescue of the crew effected. White Vision had flown 60 miles over heavy seas against a head wind of 25 miles per hour with visibility only a hundred yards at the place of release and three hundred yards at the place of arrival.
