carosio Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 There's all types of pigeons. They are basically big doves. Beautiful birds. The Dodo was a type of pigeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaytie Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Don't recall seeing any in Finland, Russia, Egypt or Jordan. Millions in Italy and France. Maybe UK ones will leave at Brexit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-H Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Don't recall seeing any in Finland, Russia, Egypt or Jordan. Millions in Italy and France. Maybe UK ones will leave at Brexit! Did you go to Moscow when you were in Russia? There are hundreds (or thousands) of pigeons in Red Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obelix Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Id make a guess that Antarctica is pigeon free. I've seen them more ro less everywhere else in the world that I've been though - UK, Europe, Singapore, Egypt, USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berberis Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) no pigeons in malta. No pigeons you say. I saw them in Valletta last summer and there are pigeon racing clubs in Malta too. ---------- Post added 11-01-2017 at 16:29 ---------- Don't recall seeing any in Finland, Russia, Egypt or Jordan. Millions in Italy and France. Maybe UK ones will leave at Brexit! Another one. There is a pigeon market in Cairo and reported by CNN, over 2 million pigeon breeders in Egypt.

Alcoblog Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I can (with some considerable authority) quite safely say, there are no pigeons in Crookes today, and believe me, I've been keeping my eyes peeled. Mostly due to the fact that I like to be anything but uninformative and up to date on here. Strangely, and contemporaneously associated with a very lovely little thread in the 'Sheffield' bit, I'm pretty sure I saw a Waxwing earlier as it was blown backward at considerable vitesse, slap bang into next door neighbour's chimney stack. Judging by the awful warbling it was making, I suspect this was not some sort of stunt flying on behalf of the brave little Bombycilla, but more to do with the gale force wind. Get well soon Waxwing.
