It's that time of year here is Wales where wood pigeons, which I hate with a passion, start to wake me up at 5.30am (if my OH hasn't already done so with his snoring). When we visited Northlands last May I was told by a local that the wood pigeons in NZ eat that many berries they are too fat to coo! Please tell me this is right

Not sure if that's true or not - saw plenty of pigeons in NZ, but they were always being drowned out by the tui's at that time of day!

I totally hate all pigeons and they seem to know it

I have this wood pigeon that deliberately stalks me it seems to always fly down and sit on my fence watching me, especially if I go into the garden to hang out the washing

Grrrr cant stand them

I love that sound..something I really miss over here. Our wood p's are the size of small gliders and are protected. They alas make now sound outher than when they fly overhead. The are quite noisy in the wing dept. Lovely birds..and our magpies make a beautiful warbling sound.

Yes, maybe they are a different breed. Our wood pigeons are huge and beautiful, but I've never heard them make a sound. They make a whoosh whoosh sound when flying overhead. Plenty of tuis, magpies and bellbirds to make up for the lack of song though.
