SONGBIRD!!

Ever since we moved in to this house we have had two pigeons that sit on our roof and twit twoo the whole time down the chimney l didn't really take a lot of notice of them (probably because l'm very rarely sitting in the lounge during the daytime!!) Anyway the neighbour was only saying last week how they really get on his nerves as they sit on his ariel too and wake him up really early during the summer months; he actually said he could quite happily shoot the things but hopefully he was joking.
Anyway after returning from church today the house was empty of children and so very quiet, Andy and myself was in the lounge when all of a sudden there was a big bang; l thought what was that and even went to duck down!!
I then realized that something had hit the front window as there seemed to be bits flying about, the bits turned out to be feathers - you've guessed it - it was one of the pigeons ! It was a really sunny day and the big fir tree reflects onto the window outside and the pigeon must have swooped in to land, hit the glass and then we watched it struggle onto the brick edging and then peacefully die, it was so sad neither of us said anything for a minute and just realized that in the background was the CD playing and can you believe it was playing the track "SongBird" that made it even worse - it really struck me how fragile that life is - one minute that pigeon was there the next it wasn't - l've left it out there l'm hoping it will be gone by the morning (Mr.Fox)=(one pigeon pie to go!).........sorry not funny!!...........l suppose that's what they call the circle of life.
