About Me

My photo
I am an odd person. I love books, break out into dance randomly, and gesture wildly when I speak with friends.

PIGEON Pillow

So my aunt is starting an online business where she will take a picture of a pet make it into a pillow, as well as other fancy pillows. She can also monoggram the pets name on the bottom of the pillow and add a thought bubble to the picture. So my mom is getting a pillow with a picture of our dog on it and said I should get one with a picture of a PIGEON on it. So the dilemma is what picture. Here are my favorites if you have a few that you like the most comment and let me know. I'll make a new post when I make my decision and you can help me decide if I want a thought bubble. Also bonus points to you if you recognize all the photos and double points if you can name all of them.



 


If you want an epic pet pillow visit my aunt's web sight www.priscillasposhpillows.com and order one.

PIGEON of September

First post from college. Yay! For this month I thought I would stick with the East Coast since I live here now. So as I was searching East Coast PIGEONS and I found the PASSENGER PIGEON. The head and tail of the PASSENGER PIGEON was a slate blue, the back was grey and the breast was red; they were similar to the mourning dove but a little larger. There used to be billions of PASSENGER PIGEONS that would fly of the East Coast. According to those who saw them fly over it was as though a great cloud had blocked out the sun. Because they were so prevalent PASSENGER PIGEONS were easy to hunt and many people used them as a source of food. People would kill as many as possible, any they did not eat could be sold of feed to pigs. Unfortunately the seemingly never ending supply of PASSENGER PIGEONS could not withstand so much hunting and PASSENGER PIGEON became extinct.

PIGEON of August

This month I leave for college on the East Coast. So I have decided to make the the PIGEON of August one that lives in Boise. The MOURNING DOVE. I see MOURNING DOVES in my backyard all the time. These PIGEONS are common across the continental U.S. and are the most frequently hunted bird in North America. They are named for their call which sounds like a lament. They are a soft brown or tan color with black spots on their wings and tails.

PIGEON of July

Happy 4th of July everyone. Here to celebrate with us is a PIGEON with fireworks coming out of his head. The PIGEON of July is the VICTORIA CROWNED PIGEON. The VICTORIA CROWNED PIGEON is 29 inches long, weighs over 5 pounds, and is thought to be the largest PIGEON on earth. It is blue with a lacy white-tipped crest, a maroon chest, and red irises. The VICTORIA CROWNED PIGEON lives in the lowland and swamp forests of New Guinea and eats fruits, nuts, and invertebrates. It is also a threatened species, it is not endangered but it is vulnerable.

Of No Concern to PIGEONS (College Classes)

So, today I finished registering for my classes. I did not get into the drama tech class I wanted which makes me sad. Instead I am taking a digital art class, I hope it turns out to be fun, and I am planning to make many of my drawings of PIGEONS. In fact I am going to do my best to draw some of the GOD PIGEONS that I don't have pictures for. I may even be able to do some kind of comic staring the GOD PIGEONS. Wouldn't that be cool. I am really looking forward to college. Hopefully I will still have ample time to post but no matter what happens I promise to keep doing PIGEONS of the month.
