Pigeon

It had started drizzling when this pigeon came and sat on the window sill asking to be photographed and posted on CDPB. I obliged as it was an irresistible opportunity. Pigeons along with crows and sparrows rule the roost in Mumbai.

  2. Those three bird varieties are scavengers - they pick up the bits of food that humans drop. I do not usually like pigeons but this one has particularly nice wing markings.

    I hate pigeons, they are full in Evry, and they all dirty. Pigeons are so romantic only in Venice ;o).

  5. I've posted these birds several times. They are such interesting colours, this one has orange eyes!

    Come over to Cheltenham to see where I've been :)

  7. I'm not so sure if I've said this before - if you've seen a sparrow recently, you are a LUCKY one! They're almost extinct. Haven't seen one in Chennai for a long, long time :(
