Someone is watching you!


Someone is watching you all the time. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing. But don't worry; it is not the big brother. It is the incongruous but ever-present being in our life - the Pigeons. They are present everywhere!



Pigeons are no low-class citizens. They belong to the upper-crust of society. Cramped corners just don't suit their needs. They need air-conditioners - the top of it. I can't count the number of twigs, wires and hair particles dropped into the AC. All in the name of building that high-quality wind-resistant nest.


If you are bothered by any of them- just wait till the eggs hatch out. Constant squawks, screeches, knocks, bumps will keep you engaged once the little chicks are out. You begin to feel like you are in a cage in a zoo and those chicks are constantly watching you for fun. To make the nest even stronger and dust resistant, the Pigeons put in goop, muck, feathers and other such invaluable and expensive components. When the chicks are big enough and fly away its time to clean up the mess and it’s terrible. The smell, the colour and the dust is enough to make you vacate the house rather than clean it!
