Seriously, how do you tell the difference between a male and female common pigeon? I've only seen the one in the photo, which was taken between 5:00 and 6:00 pm. My wife left later than I did, and said that the other one came about 7:00 pm and relieved the first. We'll know for sure in a week or two. I'm not sure how I'm going to break the news to my 89 year-old mother in law that she's got a couple of LGBT pigeons "playing house" on her balcony. Of course, they're on Capitol Hill, which is to Seattle as the Castro District is to San Francisco... --Peter > Peter Klein wrote: >> Look who set up a maternity ward on my mother-in-law's balcony. >> <http://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/5827389872/in/photostream> >> Click the photo to view bigger. > Don't expect the eggs to hatch.
