Pigeon tapping at my window

How many times did you tap and at what frequency and timbre? 3 hard taps in quick succession for example is "I had sex with your parent and then killed your sister and made her into a pigeon pie, with said parent's permission" in Pigeonese. You may have just started a war.

I think this was more musical anything - it sounded like an attempt at composition. I'm going to record next time, there's some sort of bird Mozart in the making there, or it may be atonal and repetitive, like Glass or Gorecki.

Oh no. It was the start of human-dove relations. I couldn't even get the right species! I am so busted as regards birds liking me. :blush:

It would indeed be pleasant to have a TSR pictorial guide to birds.
I looked out of the window again and they left some little 'presents'.

I won't call them 'pigeon droppings' because Cool Cavy has already informed me that these were doves, not pigeons as such. Therefore they must be dove droppings.

Could this also be an attempt to communicate? I believe some primate species communicate by hurling their feaces.

This is what they told me when I graduated too.
I was once on the top floor of the headquarters building of a well-known 'three letter' agency around here. The room i was in was a conference room, and was unusual in that it had 'floor to ceiling' windows on the outside wall. Inside the room were a series of tables with legs only, which we were sitting at. The tables were arranged in a line, with our backs to the windows, with small spaces between the tables. A top secret briefing was being presented on a projection screen at one end of the room. As i sat there, i became aware of a pigeon standing behind me (outside the glass), that was staring at the screen to my right. The pigeon had a clear view of the screen because of the gap between the table (that i was seated at the end of), and the next table (which had someone seated at the left end of).

The pigeon stood and stared at the screen whilst 8 or 10 slides were presented (and discussed). It was quite quiet on the 7th floor level (the building is in the woods - no traffic noise), and an amplifier was being used by the briefer - so that the briefing was probably audible outside the glass. The pigeon was only about a foot from the glass on the outside. My 'neighbour' at the next table noticed me looking around, and also turned to look at the pigeon. He observed it watching for 4 or 5 slides (at about one to two minutes per slide). At this time, the briefer's arm (which was holding a pointer, which he was using to point out things on each slide) apparently became tired, so he switched arms, and moved over to the other side of the screen. Now, he was blocking the pigeons view of most of the screen. Immediately, the pigeon turned around in a circle, and moved to the other side of an aluminum collumn that supported the two sheets of glass that made up the outside wall. Now, the pigeon obviously again had an unobstructed view of the entire screen. My neighbour asked me: "Did you see THAT"??? i replied that i had. After about 15 more slides, the briefing concluded. The projector was turned off, and the room lights put up. At this point, the pigeon turned around, walked over to the edge of the roof, jumped off and flew away. My neighbour and i watched it go. At this point, he said: "we should report this"!!! I said: "ok, you call security & tell them that a pigeon was watching our TS briefing". Do you know what they are going to say?????

I SWEAR i did NOT make this up. It occurred exactly as i have reported it. Any thoughts???

Looks like one of them is a smoker. Ask it if it's got a light you can borrow.
Let it in, it'll be carrying a message....

Can't, we're in a 'no-smoking' building!!
