A one legged pigeon from Sheffield,
Very cool,laid back and quite chilled,
He hopped and he pecked,
Half can of beer he necked,
Then hiccuped, swore and then keeled!
I was sat outside Sheffield hospital just minding my own business when this one legged wonder appeared. His friend got even closer then both of them spied a can of lager, half spilt on the ground. I’ve never seen inebriated pigeons before…
A sparrow flew down and Hopalong nutted him, belched, tried to fly off in a wobble sort of way. Thought better of it then hopped away into the bushes.
He’s doing well for a one-legged guy!

Quite the scrapper, probably. Maybe that’s how he lost his leg!

A fight with a cat, maybe? And the cat got more than it expected when this aggressive pigeon fought back?

Pigeons are supposed to be delicious. And very pricey too. I’d have a chomp if it had Colonal Sanders secret recipe.

Yes, but farm-raised. Not the flying garbage bins called urban pigeons! Although lobsters inhabit the same ugly but delicious zone. 😉

How would you tell the difference? If you’re in a fancy restaurant and you get pigeon breast in pepper sauce it could be free range or from the street?! I’ve never tried lobster. Love all sorts of fish, crabs, cockles, winkles and of course, fish and chips!

There has to be trust, of course … 😉
If you like crab, you would probably like lobster. Very ugly and spidery, though. A common saying is that the first person to eat one of them must have been very hungry.

I loved this pigeon story, guess losing his leg drove him to drinking. 😁.

I’ve seen one legged birds several times – it’s a mystery how it happens. As for the drunken behaviour – I’d believe anything of Sheffield . . .
