One of the funniest bird scenes I ever witnessed involved a pigeon and a peregrine - well - peregrines. No, it wasn't a hunt. I was watching the local peregrine eyrie (located inside a pillar-cap fronting the library) from a window accross the street. Momma peregrine was inside brooding her new babies, and a pigeon flew up to the nest pillar, clearly with the intention of landing on the edge. Well, just as it started to lower itself down for a landing it saw the peregrines inside, and my oh my - it was like watching a cartoon. Mom barely spared it a glance, but the startled and horror stricken pigeon started flapping maddly to back up, turned in mid-air, and frantically flew away.
Of course, I'm looking at momma and super-imposing a cartoon balloon over her head that had her thinking ...did we finally find a restaurant that delivers? LOL (and I don't use that abbreviation unless I'm speaking literally; I fell out laughing.
