By now my pigeon collection had grown. A black pigeon, named Polly and a white pigeon, named Molly was the original two I started with. I built them a little house and before long they were laying eggs and presto baby pigeons. Pigeons lay two eggs at a time, as a rule. They really never left the place for long. I would put corn as feed on the roof of the house. Which made sense at the time. Then I came home from school one day to find they had friends over for dinner. So, I’d put more feed up there for the friends. Well, a few days later I came home and there were even more friends on the roof. Kind of sounds like a welfare state starting to develop, right? You know the more I fed them the more kept showing up. My mom was really about to lose it now. Because, there were now hundreds of pigeons on the roof and poop everywhere. Well, needless to say I had to put an end to that. I stopped feeding and they soon stopped coming. Sound familiar?
