where do birds go to die?

[thatrachie]

seriously. where? one sees the odd bit of roadkill or what-have-you but there must be millions of birds dying of perfectly natural causes every day and i don't know what happens to them.

not mad cheerful thoughts for a monday night, i'll grant you.

I think this falls into the same category as "why does no-one ever see baby pidgeons?"

[thatrachie]

good question. i saw pigeons incubating an egg in norfolk, but no baby pigeon.

perhaps they are like baby seagulls and weirdly large?

I work just off of Trafalgar Square and have come to the conclusion that they must come out of the shell a) huge; and b) filthy dirty!

[thatrachie]

pigeons are gross. my boyfriend and sister both also work just off trafalgar square and assure me of this fact.

Maybe they fly straight to heaven. :-)

[thatrachie]

you're very glass half full over there.

[jaanquidam]

It's a glass of gin. That helps.

I think they have a built in SatNav that takes them to the KFC headquarters and throw themselves into the plucking machine :)

[thatrachie]

surely it would take them the wrong way round a one-way system and then over a steep cliff first?
