Feathered Friends in Sausalito
– Jim Wirth
Well, at least one of them has feathers – the owl happens to be plastic.
Every day for the past several weeks, from just outside the door of the OpenRoad.TV world headquarters in Sausalito, California, we’ve been hearing the coo coo cooing of a friendly pigeon that has decided to set up its nest and raise its family – to the ultimate dismay of the building owner. With dogged determination, this little gal has overcome the rolled up chicken wire, and has actually used it to her advantage as a perfect platform atop which to build her nest. And the menacing plastic owl, strategically placed to frighten away even the most brave and daring of pigeons, has become a constant and vigilant protector of the nest while the mother is away finding food, and a worthy companion when she is back home.
Score: Pigeon… 1, Landlord… 0.

Plastic Owl = Plastic Results, L0L
The resident Horned Owl in My Hemlock tree would polish off that pigeon as an appetizer.
I have seen him sit between two chickens at night and snip off each head! Next morning feathers all over the place but only one carcass.
