I was driving to work this morning when my Ford quit in the damp
weather. (so what else is new?!).
I was sitting in the car at the side of the highway, contemplating my
next move, when a pigeon flew down and landed right in the middle of the
hood of the car. It seemed fairly tame, and I soon became fascinated in
watching it up close as it strutted around and made cooing noises.
A few minutes passed, and two more pigeons flew in and joined the first
bird. Pigeons seem to be attracted by crowds, and soon I was sitting
there with a whole hood full of pigeons, all cooing loudly and beginning
to change the color of my hood.
Gradually I noticed that the birds seemed to be trying to get my
attention, which was unnerving, since I had always regarded pigeons as
rather stupid birds. But, sure enough, several of them were dragging a
piece of rope around on the hood, and several others were flying out in
front of the car and returning to the hood.
All of a sudden, I realized what they were doing, so I yanked open the
door and wildly chased them all off.....
No way was I was going to be pigeon-towed!!
