It's official. Scroffy has moved in. Last night, for the first time, he spent the night ensconced in my windowsill. He's there again, right now. When I turn the bedroom light on, he opens a bleary eye and stares at me. If I walk over to the window, he might coo sleepily or ruffle his feathers. Mostly, he just keeps sleeping.

On Sunday, I'm roasting up one of his cousins. I'm going to make a turkey feast! I sure do love turkey, and it's been too long since I last had it. I'll roast it up with all the fixings: sweet potato, carrot, butternut squash, cranberry, potato, pickle, beet, and general yumminess! f00 carried the turkey home from the grocery store, tonight. In one hand, he carried the dead, eviscerated, decapitated bird. In the other hand, he carried a large bag of birdseed.

Never let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.

Haha! You're too much fun, pigeon-tamer!

What she didn't mention was her words when we entered the store, and I asked her what else we needed, besides the turkey: "Bird seed! So we can grow some birds."

Poor Scroffy. First day in and you threaten him with a 'warning' *makes slashythroat action*

You have to take pictures once he's settled in. I'd really like to see what a semi-domesticated pigeon looks like in domestic surroundings

Well, he looks like a pigeon. And our window ledge used to look like red bricks, but now it looks more like POOP AND FEATHERS AND MORE POOP.

There's a lot of poop inside a pigeon. Especially one that only leaves to drink (and find even more poop than we supply him with ... indirectly) now and then.

It's a MADHOUSE out there! A MADHOUSE I TELL YOU!

"A madCOOP, not a madhouse", utters Shan, as she sips her boozydrink.

You should feed Scroffy some of your turkey feast. Hee heee!

Yeah, that's sinister enough. Shan says she's already thought of that. Evil Shan!!!
