But there was one, a beautiful bird, pure white with light grey tips on its wings; that one was different. It was a female. I had only to wish and call her and she would come flying to me. I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life." ~ Nikola Tesla "Pigeons are among the most maligned urban wildlife despite the fact that human beings brought them to our shores and turned them loose in our cities - not something that they chose." ~ Ingrid Newkirk "The only difference between a pigeon and the American farmer today is that a pigeon can still make a deposit on a John Deere." ~ Jim Hightower "Bah, tombstones are only good for pigeons to sit on" ~ Vladimir Lenin "All I know of birds to this date is that sparrows are the ones that are not pigeons." ~ Alan Coren "I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest, I had to put my clothes on cause it made me depressed." ~ Ray Davies Don't be afraid of being outnumbered.
