Pigeons don't like him!

Our Italian lodger seems to inspire heinous acts by the local pigeons, for some unknown reason. He’s quite a fastidious sort of person so maybe they just delight in winding him up, who knows. Anyway one day I was driving him and his wife, myself and our two girls to see a Japanese film, which was only showing in a few select cinemas one of which was in the next town. When we arrived, I parked in a convenient space in the multi-story car park, but once we got out he noticed the car was positioned under the edge of the roof and so he objected, on the grounds that a bird was likely to perch there and poo on it. I told him not to be silly – then as we walked away a pigeon pooped on his shoulder! Not long after this and he was walking down our road one day on the way to the bus stop, and a bird pooped on his head. And then a few days ago my partner was giving him a lift somewhere, and that was when a pigeon pooped on the car! This is getting to seem more than just a coincidence now. None of us have ever been pooped on, and even the car rarely gets anything on it even though it’s parked under a tree! We’re convinced the pigeons have got it in for him. He is a man who loves his food though, so I’m keeping a lookout for pigeons for sale every time I pass a butcher’s. I have a plan to make him a pigeon pie All rights reserved. © Text copyright Fleur 2026. Image from Pixabay.
