Overheard on the Wilsham Road railings yesterday


Pigeon 1: “Tis a right roller coaster o’ a year. Folks ‘ave gone right barmy for them gulls.”

Pigeon 2: “Aye, they’ve been snatchin’ all the breadcrumbs right fae under our beaks.”

Pigeon 3: “Those rapacious gulls are nothing but purloining nuisances! They’re perpetually pilfering our food, it’s positively galling!”

Pigeon 4: “Always showing off with their dive-bombing stunts, like performing pets.”

Pigeon 5: “Strewth, like flying rats, more like! Pooping everywhere. Stealing our railing.”

Pigeon 1: “I tell ee wot, mate, I’d like to see Abingdon made a gull-free zone”

Pigeon 2: “Aye, noo you’re talking. Gull-free, gull-free!”

Pigeon 3: “They’re forever impeding our progress and generating a cacophony, it’s positively unbecoming”

Pigeon 4: “Squawking and screeching, it gives me a proper headache.”

Pigeon 5: “We’ve gotta do something about them.”

Pigeon 1: “Well, mate, we could start by educating folks about the importance of pigeons. Make ’em proud o’ our joint heritage together.”

Pigeon 2: “Aye! Make Abingdon a mair pigeon-friendly place.”

Pigeon 3: “I’m in wholehearted agreement with you there. And let the humans be aware that gulls are transmitters of avian influenza.”

Pigeon 4: “Let’s start spreading the word and get Abingdon gull-free.”

Pigeon 5: “Yeah, sounds like a plan.”
