My wild pal, 'THUG PIDGE'! (should have an A.S.P.O)

Ok, first off am not sure if A.S.B.O is a world wide recognised thing. In the UK, it means Anti Social Behavioral Order. I know a pidge who simply MUST have an AS*P*O, Anti Social Pigeon Order. He is, simply, a thug. Hence his name, ThugPidge. He is big, beefy, dominant. He appears from nowhere when all the little sweet innocent pidgies are nomming down the goodies I throw for them. Then comes.... ThugPidge! He will chase and chase every pidge in sight away from the food, because of course, ALL the food belongs solely to HIM. Unfortunately, he spends so much time chasing, he forgets to actually eat. The group of pidges he follows are smart. They have decoys. One pidge will be chased, the rest tuck in, in peace. Then another pidge plays victim, and so on and so forth. Eventually, this naughty, but hilarious pidge with the ASPO order, tires of chasing, and simply puts his bottom in the air, and his beak down to the food, and enjoys a good feast. He is so naughty though, but he stands out, I love him! Christmas just gone I bought corn, wild bird seed, and a packet of very much loved sausage rolls for my pidges that I feed from work. Somehow, I managed to resist the temptation to buy my obnoxious ThugPidge a leather jacket and a flick-knife
He is an absolute horror, but he is a personality. If the day comes when he dosent appear, bullying and chasing the sweet sharing little pidges, and annoying me because of that, I will be so ill at ease. Actually, Id be heart broken.
I love my bossy, domineering ThugPidge. he just stands out!

ThugPidge sound like quite a character, Annie.
Some of them can irritate the devil out of us, but in the end, I always say, 'Ya gotta love 'em", just as you do with this fiesty one.

Do you have any pictures of ThugPidge?

Cindy, I have a short video of him on my mobile phone! I cant send from that phone to the internet, but I will try and bluetooth it to another phone...Then hopefully i WILL get it online! I really hope I can, you just HAVE to see him giving chase for all he is worth His little pidge leggies move like bee's wings!
He is a horror, but he is just sooooo funny!
I just cant get the daft vision out of my head of him stood, with his chest thrust forward, in a studded leather jacket and a weapon in his wing, demanding ''Give me the food! GIVE ME THE FOOD!!!'' And all the other pidgies looking at him as though to say ''Yeah, it just aint happening, soft boy''

He sounds like quite the pidge. I saw a seagull like that the other day, when I put down food for them in a parking lot. He was huge, and trying to chase all the others from the food. He did eventually start eating, so I hope he stuffed himself and left, so the others could have a shot at the food. There was enough for everyone, so I'm sure they all eventually ate.

Greedy Gull, lol! They really DO have personalities dont they! Do they remind you a bit of the people who always manage to be at the front of the line when the buffet is announced 'open' at a wedding, or similar celebration? The ones who will give you a sharp, accidental elbow to the ribs in order to get there first?

The more you get to know them, the more like people some are. Usually a lot nicer though.

I know the type! And I know exactly what you mean... My Hercules is also a little monster, and I love him to bits. He attacks everything and everybody except (usually) his partner, and on occasions when there was domestic violence he got time out until he became more civil:

TWINS! Hercules and ThugPidge are TWINS! LOL! They are identical

Terrible twins...
