—and they have those strange red looking eyes. Your pigeon theory is as valid as little green men with large heads IMHO. You need to write a screenplay and run it down south to the Skywalker Ranch.

Anyway, thought of broccoli and thought of this.



OMG! there are actually pigeons here from the planet Zeon. Now I am worried. Not that much though, the Cajuns, that come up from the bayou, love to trap them here and eat them. I am not kidding.

Nice with some sauteed mushrooms and served over wild rice. Jut don't get the pellets stuck in your teeth.
