The incongruity between your post and your signature is, quite frankly, hilarious.

Quite.

I do now wish I had been adventurous enough to try the Jack Regan route rather than the John Inman.

Not sure what it is about the size of a pigeon, too big to be cute and manageable and too small to take on in unarmed combat. I think it's the element of unpredictability and surprise. A little like when you're peering into your monitor in the dead of night in the dark and a moth smashes into your face.

Funny that, becasue it's just happened to me, even though I've supposedly moth-proofed my windows. I'll take on your pigeon if you take on my moths. Birds don't scare me, but big fat furry moths do.

Moths are gross, all that stuff they shed everywhere - yuck.

A wood pigeon? I think I'd have been trying to finish it off, they are good eating!
Good story though....
It's the town pigeons that are flying rats, woodies are tasty!

Well, obviously not the Flying Squad...
You're one of those people who just wouldn't cope if aliens landed on Planet Earth, aren't you ?
Still, think of it this way - one more of life's wee paneful adventures, survived and remoulded to dining out story !
