Driving along Tuggeranong Parkway earlier this week I happened to glance to my right and was greeted with the sight of 2 common pigeons flying only about 3 metres
above the road, barely 30 to 40 cm apart (beating wings almost touching each other!), at 90+ km/h. As they were ‘going my way’, I double checked the
speedo, and there they were: still ahead of my car.
I know pigeons are raced by ‘fanciers’, but what impressed me most was the precision at full tilt to be as close as that; you almost had to look twice to see
it was 2 birds! It reminded me of the RAAF Roulettes.
