Pete the Pigeon
A baby bird who refused to fly his cardboard condo...26 total reviews
Comment from Dawn Munro
How do you do it? I don't mean write, I KNOW how you do that - well! What I mean is, how on earth do you have so many nonfiction stories that read like pure fiction? Good golly, Molly! (Hahahahahahaa! LOVE the "Oh for Pete's sake!" Among others...)
Just a couple of small grammar glitches - REALLY? do I really have to try to find them? I will have to read it again. I was having too much fun to stop and make notes, dagburnit! (or somethin' like that...) This is not short, you know (but very funny) LOL.
But here's a correction that isn't really necessary, but I like MINE BETTER. (LOL)
tent sleeping = sleeping in a tent (I mean, come on, with all you have written, two extra little words, Mary? "in" & "a" - sheesh)
By the way, what's 'gorilla glue'?
Alright, okay, I'm stalling...(*grumble, grumble*) In no particular order (just as I find them again...)
1) sentence fragment - "Pete flapping but this time engaged and focused." Try Pete (was) flapping
2) "...cinder block to the head (shot) - get rid of "shot" please
There are a couple of others - go look for them yourself. You're spoiling my vibe. (*smirk*)
Okay, seriously, as IF you can't figure out which ones aren't right...
Here's a six anyway. Don't get used to it. I have to spread them around...
Nobody writes like you do. (But then again, who has the MATERIAL to work with?) Hahahahahaha!

Haha, thank you Ms. Dawn, for the extensive review. I very much appreciate your keen eyes on this piece. I have made the recommended changes and yes, I like yours better too. :) I made a few other changes as I incorporated yours, so hopefully I got the ones that you noticed (passively-aggressively moved to passive-aggressively) I must have been having flashbacks of the cinder block incident and didn't realize I was overdoing the 'ely's! Thank you my love, and like I said, I wasn't sure it was a six so wouldn't be offended at all. I love that your reading me :) Gorilla Glue is a super duper adhering glue that is pretty amazing.
As for the non-fiction...I'm a magnet for awkward and bizarre. I have no other way to put it. If it weren't for the videos, no one would believe it, right?

This is the the funniest story I have read for a long time. I was in hysterics. I will most likely break out with laughter every time someone says the word "pigeon". I will picture you in the water retention field, patterning a pigeons behavior when you are wearing your 'expecting a royal invitation,' accessories.
I am glad the wolfhound's owner was found.

Welcome to FanStory 😁

Nice videos that complement your story perfectly. I see it is non-fiction, but assume you don't have this syndrome, that I never heard of. I loved the part mainly about the dove and your other animals.

Thank you so much, Robina. I very much appreciate your RR&R and comments. No, there is nothing such as the syndrome described, but I definitely received the tendency from my dad!
Have a great evening!
Comment from Douglas Paul
Imagine her angst when (an) lost and hungry (80 pound) wolfhound happened upon our campsite, sporting bloodied paws and a disposition as sweet as carrot cake. = (a) - (80-pound)
Very cute story told with your usual sense of humor. I enjoyed this one. The video of Pete riding on your head is really funny

Thank you for catching the nits, Paul. I believe i have corrected them. I appreciate your keen eye, as well as your RR&R!

Glad to be able to help
Comment from barkingdog
Pigeon Pete's eventual success made up for the 'brick' incident (horrid woman!).
I watched the videos. Pete was more interested in strolling the grounds or grooming himself on your head. Fat fellow--your Pete.
I hope he met a Mrs. and had more little Petes and Petites.
Great syndrome. More people should have it. The world would be a better place.

Hi Ellen, thank you for your wonderful RR&R, and comments! I hoped the same for Pete...
Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
I have a six, now you have a six.
Excellent story, excellently written, no problems noted.
Laughed my butt off then had to call my daughter who did the same thing as I was trying to make it through even just one paragraph before breaking down in hysterical laughter.
this is the best I have read in a long while.
