Has anyone ever seen a pigeon this colour before?

#1

I saw these 2 yesterday. I’ve honestly not seen pigeons this colour before. Craziness.

They are temporarily invincible

#3

Where was this?

They don’t look well

#4

Tweet the rspb, they’re quite helpful with this sort of thing. Identified the female pheasant I saw flapping about my house once (which was apparently very rare for London)

Shoreditch high st, yesterday.

That’s a good idea, thanks will do.

#7

Look like they’ve got at a big bag of turmeric or something

#8

They’ve just been splashed by a muddy puddle.

#9

No I don’t think so. I saw them for quite some time so had a good look. They definitely had a gold coloured plumage.

Aah, gotcha!

#12

Yes, once

#13

Does that mean just now or before?

#14

Brown pigeons aren’t that rare

#15

ahh, diseased north london pigeons mate.

#16

Just imagining 2 blokes watching me take the photo, and one saying to the other “look at the bloke over there, losing his shit with that brown pigeon.”

I watched seagulls have sex on a set of train tracks once
It wasn’t great

#18

Ha ha!

I saw a pigeon get hit by a train before. Was like a bomb of feathers going off.

Been eating leftover Ready Brek, I reckon.
