That story reminded me of a most recent oddity... my girlfriend and I were fishing the pond when I felt something swoop down near my head... then it happened again only this time it tried a landing and ended up in a tree beside me. It was a homing pigeon... shortly thereafter it decided it wanted nothing better then to perch on my shoulder or that of my girlfriend ANY time we went outside. At first this seemed like the greatest thing ever and quite a treat... but got old VERY quickly. For over a week it camped out on my deck as I tried to locate it's owner through various local clubs... of course the day I finally find out who he belonged to it disappeared. Whether it got tired of the 'rations' we were providing or found itself in the jaws of any number of local predators is hard to know.
