…has to do some very serious pondering as to how to pick the apples without falling off the tree. So here we see the thought processes of a problem-solving pigeon as viewed from the kitchen door.

Success?

Well no. Pigeons can’t chew or swallow  whole crab apples, though this morning I watched one have a darn good try. (Appropriate procedure for dealing with a choked pigeon anyone?)

Finally, after much deliberation, the hard won prize was ejected. More pondering ensued.

More gymnastics.

Better leave it to the blackbird then. He does have the right kit for crab apple harvesting.
