Funny how you anthropomorphise. Right now there is a magpie, a pair of mated pigeons, an herring gull who i knew the Mother of and a sole Rock Dove on the roof oppo. And I can hear the call of another RD. Not mourning as such as its a tough life being a bird but - sort of in vigil for a lost nest. Well that would be the hoom take.
This morning Dancing Girl came out to sort the mess. i have not seen Her for a while. Things happen. She picked up the nest and left it back in place with an annoyed stance. But She left the nest. It is early in the year. They can try again.
Few hours later - older Woman is out cleaning up, as GrandMothers do. The dove pair are on the roof. Life goes on.
(This format sucks or i do)
Yesterday was epic. The Hen (possibly the bloke) faced down the murder crow and its partner stood guard after. Hey nonnie nonnie, blood all over the place - its a Morris Ref - and serious beak on beak action. A Mother (possibly) little Dove going full apeshit on a killing machine. And won. I think. They have not been back.
So a murder crow moves in to the airspace. Black and grey and beautiful. I didn't know we had the vertcal econiche to support one but yay they are beautiful. Killing machine birds often are.
They find the nest. I did not know as I watched but yes the feathers were from the Hen I think. Hard to tell with Rock Doves. It is when I realised it was a nest.
Balcony across the way - months back a dresser and tinsel and - stuff - got moved to it. You try not to spy but hey - we live on the fourth floor and they live on the third. Hard not to when you are having a fag with your mind wandering.
Pair of what I call wood pigeons - Rock Doves - decided to nest there. I would have said no but they did not ask. Last time I had a balcone I kept wasps. So what do I know.
Heres a thing. The D Mail just did a comparison test of 4 skum-ter alternatives and went for Mastodon. Sadly the comments are not available for me. Can't think why.
Yeah the place in general is a vileness of vilenessity I only scan so others don't have to but its 'science' aggregator can be quite fun
