I have just been reliably informed that Holly loves pigeons and owning one would make her happy.
How the hell do a catch a pigeon for her?
I remember it didn’t work out too well for Dick Dastardly and Mutley so I have a challenge on my hands.
Shall i fashion some sort of net style trap or just buy a soft toy to make Holly’s dreams of owning a pigeon come true?

"Um.....go to the park with bread? They come to you!
Bread you say!
They will just come to me, mmmm interesting.
Then I throw a net over it?
"
Just pick it up! Be careful of the beak though. |

Are they classed as public domain pigeons?
I wouldn’t want Mrs Pigeon sticking up posters asking for the return of her husband!!
A spell in the clink for pigeonapping wouldn’t be good.  |

I think they find their way home if you release them. Maybe that's just racing ones? |

Holly would be so upset to hear anyone calling her beloved pigeons vermin so keep that one under your hat.
I would make sure it had all it’s shots i made sure i had mine before meeting Holly and as she will probably end up cuddling her new friend as much as me i want to feel sure she is safe.  |

Holly will show her feathered friend so much love and affection that he will never want to leave.
It worked with me |

Today outside my office building a seagull was pecking at a dead pidgeon and the crow that lives in the tree outside tried to get a bit untill the seagull pecked it off. Another crow flew down frombehind and chased off the seagull, so now the two crows are pecking at the dead pidgeon. |

I don’t know if she would settle for doves, it’s over to you Blake.
Would Holly settle for doves or am i still on the hunt for pigeons?

At this rate i will be hiring Bill Odie to convert her home into a bird friendly place
whatever you get H I'm sure she,ll love it.... "
I am sure she will but i am in trouble for letting Holly’s secret love of pigeons out of the bag!!
I will definitely be adding two doves to the houseful of pigeons to make up for it |

She is going to be over the moon Mr M and I will make sure she thanks you. "

I am a pest controller and would not reccomend you catch a pigeon , they carry nasty pathogens . If you really want one , go for tumblers and tipplers, or racing pigeons |
