Pigeon detectives

Here's one for CSI: Notting Hill, a pigeon hanging from a branch high up a tree.















Weird. It was in a churchyard off Ladbroke Grove. It's not very easy to see from the pic, but somehow the unfortunate bird has ended up hanging by the neck from a piece of thread that's ended up in the upper reaches of the tree. It's neck was properly broken and everything. Rubber neckers can click on the photo to make it all big.

Detectives at the scene admitted that they had few leads. However, conspiracy theorists were already discussing several possibilities. One interested observer person (who wished to remain anonymous) told Tombolablog:
"It has to be a revenge attack for the slaying of Cock Robin. That's the only explanation." The Police have been quick to dismiss this theory though. A statement released earlier said: "Although we are at an early stage of our enquiry, there is no evidence to suggest that this death is in any way associated with that of Cock Robin. As we all well know, the Sparrow confessed immediately to that crime, and that investigation is closed. As per his sentence, the Sparrow continues to do bird. We would also like to take this opportunity and calm local residents who may be afraid that this is the work of the Coo Klux Klan."

Well with no CKK leads it looks like this one's still hanging. I suspect that it's something to do with Peckham's coo d'etat, which is the result of a problem with bills in pigeon dominated areas. He probably got all strung up about it.

Bravo Moon! I can only sit back and applaud - coo d'etat!
