A NEW FREAK ON THE BLOCK? A BURNT ORANGE PICHONSITO?

(Ed.'s Note: Some of us were at Queren and Chris' Jukebox making fools of ourselves singing karaoke when one of our gang – it had to be Texas-Ex – noticed a strange-looking pigeon strutting his stuff outside with the other common-looking birds. The first thing that struck him was the burnt orange hue of the boid's plumage and he immediately took a photo and sent it to his Longhorn buddies who were still smarting from the beating the school's pichonsito baseball team had taken from Texas A and M in the College World Series. " They loved it," he said. We've seen some different coloration that varies from gray, black and almost a steel gray, but burnt orange? Even the other pigeons took notice and the big guy at top center went into a courtship dance. Get the Boid!)

Los pichones Longhorns sounds good for a&m.

Not concerned about baseball teams from schools where few in this area have attended. I'm more concerned with the diseases associated with pigeon droppings, which include Cryptococcosis, Histoplasmosis and Psittacosis. Where is animal control when you need them? Brownsville is dirty enough. We don't need birds getting it any dirtier.
