Obviously, I am talking of Feral Pigeons (also called city, town or street pigeons). The scientific name of the Feral Pigeon is Columba livia domestica and that last world tells the story. The scientific name of the Feral Pigeon is Columba livia domestica and that last world tells the story.

Kasia Rinkai Park on Tokyo Bay will host the slalom canoeing events for the upcoming (correct at time of writing) Olympic Games, Tokyo 2020. As I looked again with my binoculars, I noticed a feral cat close to where the bird had been and presumed that this must have been what put the bird to flight.

Or, in Ted’s words: I’ve just been informed by Audubon that I am benched for the next issue but will be permanently back in the game the following issue. Now this is some seriously good news ! I knew I had fans out there, but never imagined there were so many and with such strong feelings. I was touched and humbled.

I guess having one racket is still enough to play the game, though it may not be sufficient to find a high-quality mate. If you take a feral pigeon, bleach it and then batik it using the right colors, the result might be a Pink-necked Green Pigeon (1). It does indeed look like a racket – not a tennis one but a hockey one.

After all, there is no hunting and while I watched the turkeys they routed a feral cat that dared come near the flock of twelve which consisted of two tom turkeys and ten hens. They are now common and doing better than the rest of the game birds of the eastern United States. Keep an eye out for gobblers and enjoy their strutting show!

Yes, winter has done it again : here in Heidelberg, we are subjected to the painful games of Mr. Grey, trapped under his cloudy sheets and denied the warmth of the sun or the privilege of seeing colours on birds. A decisively non-ruddy Ruddy Duck, a rare winter visitor from nearby feral populations. We are bound to suffer.

Rattlesnakes are fair game, as are other reptiles, scorpions, frogs, birds, and insects. Car collisions, feral cats, and run-ins with hunters also cause problems, even for this speed-racer. These ground birds have been clocked going 20 mph, though their coyote predators can go more than twice that.
