You're not going to run me over!

Cute story, I thought:

I was walking back to the train in Portland today and as I was walking I saw these three lanes of traffic just all the sudden stop in their tracks. I looked ahead and saw two pigeons on the road just walking back and forth in one of the lanes. One thing you do not do in Portland is hurt any animal or you will be hanged by your toe nails (as my dad likes to refere it) So these pigeons are just walking around and finally the driver gets impatient and just starts to drive and the pigeons quickly walk to the second lane and begin to just walk back and forth. Meanwhile I am laughing my head off because I figured out they are just bugging the people in the cars, they knew exactly what they were doing!! So the second lane driver gets angry and starts to drive over them and the pigeons quickly run to the next lane again!!! The same thing happens AGAIN in the third lane!!! My gosh this was hilarious to watch. So finally the pigeons fly off and go to the sidewalk. I just thought that was so funny how the birds KNOW we won't hurt them!!

Lord, I want you to remember this story when you are racing your pigeons. They are SMART!!

What a cute story! Pigeons and Quails should be respected and protected in my book. Westin said he would eat quail, but after seeing how they protect their babies, watching them cross the road running in single file following Papa Quail, how could anybody eat one? I love them.

My brothers had lots of pigeons when we were growing up. It's a great hobby. They're so beautiful and intelligent. Your story proves it! Plus they seem to have a sense of humor. What a cool experience for you, Nevaeh.

I would eat Quail they are so tasty. All animals are cute in their own way. We need to keep in mind the teachings of the gospel when it is said, all the beasts of the field and fowls of the air were put here for our consumption.

Yummy Quail! Thank yu God for placing so many tasty beasts on this earth for me to eat!
