So, Eric likes to keep our kitchen window wide open when we're home. The bottom photo shows you what I'm talking about. There are no screens in windows here, so this leaves us open to various pests, usually of the insect nature, and usually this is just a fly or two, or once there were 2 moths that attached themselves to the curtain on a windy day and Eric had to get rid of them. No mosquitos, nothing that is really too offensive in any way.
Well, last night I was going into the kitchen to make dinner, and darned if a pigeon wasn't sitting right on top of the washing machine. It's in the 1st picture, with the color mats on top. Of course I didn't get a photo of the bird himself. There was no food there or anything, just a bottle of wine, and as far as I could tell, the thing had just been sitting there quietly for I don't know how long. So of course I screamed and it flew out immediately. Thank god it knew which way to go and didn't freak out and fly into me or further into the apartment. Eric thinks it's because I'm getting too friendly with them, but I'm not sure if it was one of the ones that I watch all the time or not.
OMG! I would have freaked out too. I don't think you can get too friendly with a pigeon though.
ReplyDeleteI kinda really hate birds. I to owould have screamed like a banshee.
ReplyDeleteI like birds, but that would have upset me. Pigeons are the rats of the air.
ReplyDeleteHa! You had your own personal Lauren experience. Did you scream for the neighbors at 6am and run around with a broom, two cats, and a dog?
ReplyDeleteha! fortunately it was still daylight and Eric was right there in the other room, although I must say he didn't run in, he kind of strolled in to see what was going on. he said he was afraid the neighbors would think he was beating me. it wasn't really that sort of scream though, in my opinion. did you know it stays light here until 10pm by the way? It's weird. the days seem really long, which is a good thing so far.
