I have a shitload of pigeons in my barn. Usually when I walk inside they all take off, especially if I have my shotgun. Their preferred method of escape is to fly out the diamond shaped window on the barn end.
For you city folks, I'll submit this photo... (Not my barn, by the way; my barn isn't in nearly such good condition)
So, now you have an idea what I'm talking about.
Sometimes I like to play this little game. I will sneak into the barn so as to not wake the pigeons, and climb the ladder which is attached to the wall until I reach the diamond shape window. Then, I yell, "WAKE UP YOU FRIGGIN' PIGEONS!!"
The pigeons start flying for their lives, straight toward the diamond-shape window.
In their haste they don't see me sitting there. They don't notice I have a tennis racket in my hand.
I usually manage to nail about three of the bastards and the sight of them flying backwards across the barn and hitting the far wall with a thumping noise brings a smile to my lips every time.
I think I'll go get some pigeons right now.
It's been a while.
