Today is Pigeon Shower Day. Pigeon is an urban bird mostly
found in residential buildings and our apartment has its fair share of these
birds. Being large in size comparatively they don’t let the smaller birds
like sparrows live in their surroundings.
It’s a cool and refreshing morning,. A light breeze is blowing. There is a nip in the air and the water is cool but the pigeons
seem to find it the perfect time for a shower.
At about 8- 8.30 in the morning, they came down in a
swoop onto the lawn where the gardener had left the lawn sprinkler on. It is an
oscillating sprinkler and makes little pools of water in the lawn. The pigeon enjoy getting wet, feet, wings and
all. In fact they do a thorough job of their shower, they lift up one wing make
sure they get their wing pits nice and wet, now the other one very good – a
quick shake to get rid of excess water. Now the pigeon is cool and fresh. So nice and so funny to watch!
Akshay would have really enjoyed this.
