City pigeons are riddled with TB. It's avian TB, but still. I love these ones:
Quite a lot bigger than your average Trafalgar Square type nasty chip-stealing bundle of dirty feathers, and the flavour changes through the seasons as different fruit ripen. Braised, whole.

Reminds me of a Sid Snot (Kenny Everitt) one-liner: "I was sitting in the park feeding the pigeons.....to my cat..."

Most probably a racing pigeon that's been de-ringed and cast out due to old age. Somewhat similar to my position.

Yes, or a wild bird that's so fvkced up with disease that it doesn't give a fvkc.

Had a sulphur crested cockatoo when i was a kid named George,could repeat all our names if you put your fingers anywhere near him he would have a nip

Red Cardinal bird. Colouring and attitude.

^ It eats, roots, shoots, and leaves. Kind of a role model.

Remember Blu? The blue macaw from the movie Rio who thought that he was the last of his species? Well, his nightmare has come to life and the blue macaw parrots, who were declared endangered about seven years ago, are now officially extinct in the wild.
