another nice meal for 2was at a local history meeting last night in edinburgh,,at station i popped in for some food,and along came a sweet checker(im SURE he was same one as before)a cheeky little fellow,we shared a few chips and i stroked him(very tame),he waddled off to concourse and main platform area,there is a set of automatic doors so a drunk man was walking in same direction,,the doors opened and the drunk said to the pigeon "after you sir!" and the pige waddled off,there were 2 transport police there who had a good laugh(as did i)nice to see people being so respectful

I'm glad the little fellow is surrounded by kindness. I hope and pray his happy little life continues and that all who pass by him is of the same mind.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure Scotland has it's share of others .... but, from my experiences in Scotland, that nice man didn't have to be drunk to be so respectful to the pij!!
Thanks for sharing!

the inebriated man had just come out of the station bar,think he had enjoyed a "liquid dinner " but it was refreshing to see someone being nice to a pige.when i was in food outlet(its open plan)the assistant tried spraying my checker friend with water,but this little fellow was not for budging,he pecked round my feet and was very attentive when i spoke to him,even allowing me to stroke him a couple of times(i got some funny looks from a bunch of teenagers,prob thought i was a crazy tattooed pigeon lady lol)there IS an old vagrant lady who hangs round the station,,shes got mental issues but harmless and is tolerated by station staff and police alike,she feeds the pigeons with crumbs,bless her heart

i was looking for another regular pige who lives in station(stumpfoot)hes a light checker with a missing foot,hes been in our local paper,bit of a celebrity lol,people from shops and bagel store feed him and hes well known,last time i fed a pigeon in burger bar the assistant said i could"kick him if i like"got me real angry(wont repeat what i said),the old vagrant lady seems to have a good heart with pigeons,often in cases like hers pigeons are peoples"only friend"espec those on the margins of society for whatever reason,it is humbling to see and makes one think about many issues which a lot of the time we dont bother about,pigeons maybe recognise a kindred spirit in people who are less fortunate and its one of gods ways of showing love,dunno,thats one of my theories
