Shirley Henderson on Feral Pigeons
Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs.
A new series of Tweet of the Day for Sunday morning revealing personal and fascinating stories from some fresh voices who have been inspired by birds, their calls and encounters.
For award winning actress Shirley Henderson the arrival of a feral pigeon to her new garden as she sat with her cup of tea has brought with it a lifetime of joy. The first pigeon she noticed she named Little Girly, a bird recognised by its limp. That pigeon was followed by others, Miss White, Big Bird, Little Voice and many others. They know her well and will fly down to secure a peanut or two often from inside her jacket pocket.
