AAIIEE!!

If, for some reason, you do a search for "Baby Pigeons" on YouTube, you'll get page after page of results. But nothing captures the reality of these little suckers better than this one:



Yikes! They're like the creepiest things Ray Harryhausen never animated...and, like most Harryhausen creations, kind of adorable, too.

A pigeon family unit has moved in around my air conditioner. Problem is, I live in a drafty old apartment, as since autumn is advancing, I'll have to remove the AC and put in the storm window, which means displacing the birds, which...I mean, I don't want them here, but I don't to want get rid of them, either. But they can't stay here, so...What do I do?

Man, I hate it when real life turns into a Mark Trail strip.
