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?

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.

How about something a little more exotic? A marine pigeon.

Alright, it's a seagull, but just as much of a nuisance

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 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

What an excellent idea

When they hatch they will think of Holly as mum!

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
