Description We seem to have a bit of a pigeon problem lately. Pigeons and doves. They're nesting all over the house and attacking people. This is one of the many feathers they've left in the yard.

Lighting: 40 watt bulb on a desk lamp

I've been making caligraphy pens for my wife and I out of feathers. I burn them with hot pens to make the designs in the fine hairs and to make the grip. They're really quite beautiful, but they make quite the stink--smells like burnt hair really, lol.

I have added this wonderful capture as a feature on my journal. If you don't want the use of this thumb on it, just tell me and I'll take it off.
Thank you

... there's an old theory that goes... "imagine if there was some truth written on those little lines, in a language only angels can read? Like... our divine nature is written on our wings... including all that is expected of our time here." But don't mind me... I take pills for talking to ghosts... and beings that "don't exist".

They tend to dive at us and people who come to our front door or when we're in the back yard (cuz some are nesting back there). It's creepy. And you can always hear them making noises and fluttering about.

If you get rid of the nests, the rests should go...or at least leave you alone.

I take it you live in the city? none of the "country solutions" would work then...

That fact that you can see every single detail in the feather is AWSOME! What camera are you using? aaaahhhhhhhhh . *fawns over picture* Lovely.

IAmJim [2006-07-04 23:23:20 +0000 UTC]

That's a wonderful close-up and I really like the tone! Also, the fat that it's not perfect (as you can tell by the way it's pulled together a bit) makes it all the nicer.

ColdAngelicPortrait [2006-07-04 23:22:01 +0000 UTC]

Gorgeous, I love the coloring, it's just so solid, it looks like a copper statue rather than a real feather.

That's creepy.
If you want more pigeons, I have two that never leave my yard...they annoy me.

Yeah, attacked by birds hurts. i was pecked in the back of my head in 10th grade by a little black bird, felt like someone threw a really sharp rock at me. I guess it thought my long black hair was a crow or something attacking it's nest. Sheesh, i was just walking down the street...
