We hang with our friend, Ellie, who works at New Zealand Natural.  Ellie has known Twitch for awhile and I only met this fine bird in the last few months. But our relationship has grown and we’re now super best friends. Pigeons are the cutest creatures in the world. Twitch might nom a bit too much take out food but the grey feathers are so sexy. I really like Twitch.

One day, we met up at the ice cream cart as usual and I sat next to Twitch. We were waiting for Twitch’s friend, Lumpy (appropriately named for his lack of toes on one foot) but he totally blew us off! Rocked up, leeched some food and left. What a douche. Twitch was in a bad mood after that but I dived in after being reassured by Ellie… I asked Twitch if we could get married. The pigeon fly away from next to me, then settled back down a few meters away, glaring. “REJECTEEEEEEEEED!”, Ellie yelled at me. A pigeon rejected me.

City pigeons are skinny hipsters as you can see above. They just wander around looking badass. Though, this is one of my favourite pigeon article that I first saw this in the Brisbane MX. MX not so awesome. MX with awesome pigeons photos, not so bad:  ’Birds of a feather drink together: The three clever pigeons who help each other sup from a water fountain‘.
