Pigeon people can be so ridiculous sometimes. Well, at least in this household.
I’ve noticed a few silly things we do that have seeped into our normal behaviour. One is that whenever Georgie raises her wings in the air we do the same. Here’s what I wrote about it in 2010:
“…Georgie has an odd behaviour when she’s broody. Occasionally, and quite suddenly, she’ll lift both wings straight up a couple of times. She doesn’t take off or get up for a stretch, she simply raises her wings then settles back. Not sure what that’s about, but everytime she does both Richard and I raise our arms in response. It’s become a little game of ours. We’ve even done it when we’ve had guests over. … I know, we’re weird pigeon people.” (from Georgie eggbound)
Another thing we do is shout “Pigeon!!” whenever we see one on TV (e.g. in an advert or movie). I guess we should develop this into a drinking game.
And then there’s The Running Game! Elmo loves to chase things and will run after Richard if he runs away – it’s a fun little game they play sometimes.
…
On a totally different subject, here’s Georgie girl falling asleep on the sofa. She’s sitting down in a funny position and I managed to take a photo without disturbing her.




Georgie looks ever so sweet in this picture. I think the game you play is funny – although if I were one of your guests I think I too would wonder what you were doing!
Hi Tom, yes, we’ve had a lot of people give us funny looks when we raise our arms when our Georgie raises her wings.
Yes, Georgie looks so precious.
I do the samething! Each time I see a pigeon, I say out loud, “Yay! Pigeons!”.
awww so sweet
