Do they know something I don't?

Birds are so interesting and unpredictable. I wonder what they say to each other and what they think - I often think that when I photograph animals.

Well, in terms of what pigeons say, its either "do you fancy a s**g" or "s*d off mate" based on what I observe! As Debbie has previously wisely observed....Pigeons are the low-level gansters of the UK bird world.

PS...our local Magpies are not be messed with either....they aren't afraid of the more fearsome looking rooks, and seem willing to tussle with a pigeon with poor manners too.

The crows are just plain smart, my pair are currently working on taking the suet block cages off the branch stumps on the tree so they can drop them to break them open:

My magpies are a wee bit tame, and frankly stare down the cat, almost as it saying "Go on then, are you going to try it?".
