people in the West hate pigeons - they call them rats with wings.
i had no idea pigeons played such a special role. it will make me look at them differently. we always feed our left overs to the birds. its fun watching them greedy pigeons and noisey starlings feast - pushing and shoving, food all over. reminds me of my family at aftari.
we only get sparrows, starlings, pigeons and jackdaws in our garden. its not even a garden really. we lived in a terraced area, not much greenery - we are lucky to get a magpie or crow coming down for a quick bite.
what birds do you get in your gardens?
We feed the local colony of pigeons near our house all the time. For me Pigeons tau hain he Mubarak janwar as once Pigeons helped Prophet (Sallalaho Alayehay Wasalam) in Ghar-e-Saur.
