I could have had pigeon pie!!
On Sunday as I was sitting here at the computer I suddenly heard a loud thud which sounded like something hitting the window in my mother's sitting room. I knew immediately what it was and my mother confirmed that she had seen a few feathers fluttering and there was a mark on the window. I went outside but couldn't see any evidence of the culprit!
However, when Embee went out later to do some weeding he found this poor little pigeon stone cold~ which was sort of sad. Why when they can be a nuisance~ well my mother said it's mate was flying around looking for it for the rest of the day!!
Oh, and I was only joking about the pie it didn't even enter my head!! Remember the time I tried this, and the time I had a visitor!! So although there are plenty of recipes to be found I won't be making a pigeon pie!!
POSTSCRIPT~ WELL NOW I KNOW THIS IS ACTUALLY A DOVE NOT A PIGEON (see how dumb I am!) I'M RATHER GLAD I DIDN'T TRY TURNING IT INTO A PIE!! Thanks for putting me right folks.

Joules had pigeon on Saturday night, he said it was very tasty!
beccy what a coincidence~ what did you have?
Chris, the birds regularly crash into my windows. About 2 weeks ago I heard a great big thud - a bird had hit my bedroom window. I was left with the mark of a large bodu and full wingspan, but there was no sign of any bird or feathers in the garden. The birds only hit the windows at the back of the house and it is usually later in the year.
I wonder if the reflection they see seems like more open space and shrubs etc...
grannymar it was a very bright day here on Sunday and we wondered about reflection and flying in from the sun!
My grandfather bought few Doves to rear in his coffee plantation. Within a year, they multiplied and occupied the whole attic!! He had to ask the laborers to get rid of all of them in the end.
enidd would have had pigeon pie, chris. well, if the man had done the plucking and eviscerating.
enidd I suppose if I'd had someone to do that part I might have been tempted ~ well just for a minute maybe!!
Asha did they end up in the cooking pot? I have to say I did see a lot of recipes for pigeon on google!
Oh poor little mourning dove. :( Glad you didn't cook him up, ew!
Chris, that isn't a pigeon, it's a collard dove. They coo away all the time, bloody pests!
lisa, asha, john thanks for putting me right~ shows how little I know about my birds!! I've added a postscript rather than alter the whole post. I clearly need to do some research in future!
We have big windows in our living room. In the Spring and Summer when we have more sunny days we'll here thump, thump through out the day. Many times they revive themselves and fly away...others don't make it...and then there are those that are about to make it and then our dogs get them! Poor things! Never thought of pie LOL!
I wouldn't have know it was a dove either.
cpa mom now you've admitted that I feel much better :)
Poor little birdie.
My last apartment had a sunroom and we had birds fly into the windows all the time.
eclecticblog I bet the dogs find that wonderful sport!
sauntering soul I don't think I realised it was that usual for this to happen!
I thought it was a pigeon as well!
A small bird (I'm not sure what it was) flew into the window of the flat where I used to live, and died, so the kids and I buried it in a park.
ah more thing, have you buried it if you are not eating it then?!
and did you let its mate know where to attend the funeral!
oh what a shame, poor little bird and poor mate.
Glad you didn't cook him up.
Pigeon, dove, same thing...they're all just rats with wings.
I'm with WT on this one -flyig vermin.
that is so sad!
WT~LOL rats with wings~ now if I were you and thought of that I could have adapted the photo accordingly!!
Poor little...rat. :)
That´s sad!
Funnily enough Joules called his pigeon a rat with wings. I had fillet of sea bass.
