Killer Pidgeons

They make look cute and innocent, but watch out! These pidgeons are deadly!! They are everywhere! I had a couple almost nail me in the head as they flew all around. Linda had warned us about the pidgeons, and we soon found out why! I wonder if anybody goes to Europe and comes back with a pidgeon phobia.
Tante Marianne and I named these pidgeons with common Dutch names.






This one is Jan.









This one is Piet.









This one is Klaas.
