Watching the pigeons trying to squeeze themselves onto the bird table does amuse me. They land in the garden, waddle across the lawn and then somehow manage to fly up and into the bird table. It is quite a haphazard affair to say the least!
The other day, I took pity on the pigeons and threw a load of stale bread onto the lawn for them. Sadly my good deed didn't really do one poor pigeon a favour though. One minute I looked out the back door at my two cats sunbathing on the lawn debating the origins of the saying "Never look a gift horse in the mouth" and literally the next minute I heard a squawk. I went back to the door and was confronted by one cat mauling a very dead pigeon whilst the other cat was looking on with glee.
The poor pigeon had obviously flown into the garden and quite literally landed on two unsuspecting cats! I can't begin to tell you how guilty I felt. I definitely won't be throwing bread on the ground for the birds anymore.
