and those of us who are older and perhaps from the northeast recall a
Harvard professor who wrote satiric songs, like the little old man who
enjoys "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park".

As you all know, pigeons are close relatives of doves, and the bain of
urban areas. When I lived in Honolulu, they were a fixture in the city
parks. A local comic, did a skit around a favorite grilled chicken
recipe (huli-huli chicken - recipe on request) where "huli-huli pigeon"
was the featured entree.

Pam, doves are groupies. They sit on our deck railings all day in this
weather making a nasty mess. In the summer they flock into my veggie
garden
and when I go to enter the garden (which is fenced) they flap their
wings
trying to fly but are so heavy they can not get into flight thus
tearing up
my plants. I have walked into the water garden area and all 12 of them
will
be in the water garden and it is just a small pond. This is not a
favorite
bird of mine but I do plant my garden to attract birds. However, I
want to
decide who gets to play in my garden! Okay, this is a sad story and I
know
what you are all going to say.
