Downtown Denizens: People and Pigeons: Walter Pidgeon Pigeon 2010-09-20 - Photo by Ed Waggener. 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY The Downtown Scene is full of colorful people. Other denizens sharing downtown have unique personalities, including this fellow, a magnificent bird, whose dapper outfit reminds us of the late radio actor Walter Pidgeon, and that's what we call him when he's about, Walter Pidgeon Pigeon. Unless he's a she, in which guess, the name is Wanda Pidgeon Pigeon. This pigeon appears to be somewhat larger than most of the others.. A bit bossier. And in case any aspiring connoisseurs start referring to him as a "squab," and consider him as meal, he would not be the best. He's a watching pigeon, not an eating one. He'd have to be stewed for a long time to be tender. What one wants, for squab, is young, farm raised pigeons. Permalink | Comments?
