Pigeon Sex And the City

See my Herald column here.

Step aside Sex and The City. Those girls have nothing on the pigeons.

Walk though a park these days and behold the public displays of  pigeon sex.

They just do it right in front of you, with no respect or regard for their privacy or your right to a peaceful sex-free walk in the park.

And I daresay that sex pigeon-style is neither quiet nor, um, romantic. It’s all wings flapping, feathers flying, and funny little squeaky noises.

There are no morals anymore. There is no decency.

What has this world come to?

    Maybe that’s what is going on when I get woken by birds at 3:45 every morning.

    The pigeons and ducks are bad enough, but the geese - god help us!

    Barbara, Geese, dear lord, yes. Rapists! Check out the RIP post previous to this one - I’d be interested to know if you knew of him

    You realize of course that; from every rooftop, to every coop. From Nova Scotia to Alberta, there are little avian newspapers in which a pigeon columnist is lamenting the lack of privacy that rhododendrons used to afford.

    Eat, sleep, and fornicate. We have a lot to relearn from our feathered friends.

    I can’t say I’ve ever witnessed this but they must be going at it because the sidewalks here are overrun with pigeons. I secretly hope that more of them fly into store windows.

    wp, and the columnist with call himself Pigeon Procrastinator.

    Tagbagger, um, I just got a new black car and my stomach is now going to turn every time I see a pigeon dropping. So, thank you

    Dick, yes, pigeons can teach us so much

    Allison, how could you miss it at this time of year

    I’ve seen a lot of pigeons in my time, but I’ve never seen any having sex. I must be missing out.

    This gives that “Doing the Pigeon” song that Bert used to sing on “Sexame Street” (Freudian slip) a whole new meaning.

    I have a picture somewhere of ostriches getting it on. Years ago Mr. Ex-Moxie and I witnessed two of these gangly birds going at it at a wild animal park and had to take a photo. Does that make me a pornographer?
