I have about 150 pigeons do they count?
Believe it or not, birds scare me. So there will be no foul at our house! No bats, either--I don't know what category they fall into, but they throw me into a panic attack when they get into our house. I'm getting shivers just thinking about birds. UGH.
Yep, to me they do. I enjoy and/or am fascinated by pretty much any critter God created, even the ones many people find icky, like snakes, bugs, and such.
Some years ago there was a donut shop I stopped by on the way to work every day. A flock of pigeons hung out in the parking lot because people would toss them food. One day I saw a pigeon with a deformed foot. I think it was a hen. Anyway, she couldn't get to the food easily because of her foot, and she looked thin and bedraggled to me.
I began buying wild bird seed and putting some out every day, making sure she got plenty. This went on for months, until finally the donut shop sold out to some other company, and the property was rennovated. I wanted to try to catch her to ensure that she would be OK, but never could. Strangely, when I think about her, I still miss that pigeon.
Now, when you say you "have" about 150 pigeons, what do you mean, exactly? You have really piqued my curiosity!
