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.

PIGEONS in my life (June)

This post is slightly overdue but whatever. At my graduation I spent some time with a friend of the Idiosyncrat and she made a passing comment about a PIGEON. I immediately began bouncing around demanding PIGEON information and so the depths of my obsession was reveled. After taking a moment to absorb my quite odd behavior she spoke of her recent trip to a big city and how all the PIGEONS she saw appeared dirty and unkempt, she made a comment on how she finally understood why PIGEONS are called winged rats. I do not approve of this sentiment but there is reason behind it. Anyway while she was observing the RAT PIGEONS a new PIGEON descend. This PIGEON was possessed of a large white mohawk and upon his arrival began to strut about puffing up his chest. Henceforth this PIGEON shall be known as WHITE MOHAWK GOD PIGEON. I am very thankful to him for impressing on my new friend the variety, beauty, and hilarity that can so easily be found in PIGEONS if you only take the time to look. There is a good life lesson in that. PIGEONS for the Philosophy Win.

PIGEON of June

Now I don't know if any of you know this but this June is National Rose Month so I have chosen the ROSE-CROWNED PIGEON to be our PIGEON of June. The ROSE-CROWNED PIGEON is green with a grey chest, yellow belly, and a pink crown. This PIGEON is relatively small, about 22 cm, and also known as the ROSE-CROWNED FRUIT DOVE. They live in the costal north west and in eastern Australia.
