Pig Eon Aka Rock of Ages

A bird like a pigeon or dove
will always choose food over love
They poop from their perches
On people in churches
Excluding Nun of the Above

This morning's newspaper reports Knots Rufus have declined from 30,500 in 2019 to only 6,100 in May 2020, but toy ger kittens now fetch $5,000, so not much going for the birds! Aloha! Rico

G'day Rico … no wonder birds do what they do. Nobody builds toilets for them - thanks Rico - Lindsay

Birds just poop in the nest people build for them - it adds flavour to bird nest soup! Aloha! Rico

i agree with jan, rico - this is brilliant indeed!

what would be brilliant would be for your air-conditioner pigeons to build their nest where they could easily dive-bomb looters! Aloha! Rico

BRILLIANT wordplay and I love the title - as for nun of above - that's hilarious:-) hugs Jan xx

I suspect Rock Pigeons (Columba livia) were so named because, after feeding them, they dive-bombed the Romans which made them livid? Aloha! Rico
