Pigeons

They are everywhere here. Constantly. Cooing. Their nails clicking on the roof tiles right outside your window (speaking from personal experience here...). At 5 in the morning. At midnight. Anytime of day or night that they want. They also like sitting in really small places, like drain gutters or tiny holes in the wall where they constantly have to be flapping to stay in place. Don't ask me who told them that was a good idea.

They also aren't that afraid of people, so sometimes they will walk right up to you or let you walk right up to them. I saw one inside a train station the other day. With TONS of people around. Just chilling.

The picture above is of the pigeon who lives on the roof across from our kitchen. We've named him Charlie. He's a rather nice pigeon. You can't tell from the picture, but he's brown and white-ish. His hobbies include: standing in one place for long amounts of time, trying not to fall out of the gutter, and cooing as loud as he possibly can at 6 in the morning.
