Racing Pigeons to be quarantined.

[alex3659]

What crazy idea will they come up with next?

 

All racing pigeons returning from races from foreign countries are to be required to be quarantined for up to three months.

This will hit the sport for hundreds of thousands of pounds of extra expence.

Up to 200,000 birds take part in cross water races each year.

 

Yet another money making idea from this crazy government.

You won't be saying that when pigeon flu becomes an epidemic that people could die from. It's different to bird flu and one of the first symptoms is cooing. I've seen women with this initial symptom when I have taken my baby out in the pram. They bend over like they are going to peck up seeds and start going coo-eee, cooo-eeeee.

I've noticed blokes in nightclubs acting like male pigeons as well. They ruffle themselves up, stick out their chests and strut around after any available female, even though she's made it quite clear he's a minger with a gamey leg.

Yes always good to have a warning on April 1st.

Even though the story's clearly an April Fool, it's probably a good idea. Pigeons are nothing more than disease-ridden flying rats that should be wiped off the face of the earth.

Dunno about Racist Pigeons but we have definitely got something going on with the Ravens up near us. They are at war with the Magpies or something. Blood and limbs everywhere. You see em hanging around in gangs just waiting for one of the other kind to turn up and then its no rules time. Claws and beaks; feathers and runny stuff everywhere.

Watching them is better than watching some of the war films on telly.

You have your suicidal dive bombers; your outflanking manouvers; heavy bombers; ground forces, and then some blooming little sparrow decides it's part of the resistance.

The pigeons stay well out of it let me tell you.

It's carnage. Battle of the Birds. Alfred Hitchcock doesn't know the half of it.
