"nobody can catch a pigeon"

cp says:

After betting closes, go out on the street and catch a pigeon. Hold it in your hands, and take a photo (or more practically, have someone else take a photo).

I say it can't be done!

Must be a feral pigeon (or rock dove, as I think they're properly called) off the street, so no cheating by dove fanciers.

    Oh, and no animal cruelty. Will somebody please think about the disease-ridden winged children?

    Can country folk substitute a wood pigeon or perhaps a pheasant?

    I see someone's taken up the challenge! Come on, jomo, show us what you're made of!

    lambda - I'll allow a wood pigeon, as long as you don't shoot it in order to catch it. Pheasants are thick as two planks of wood though, so they're out.

    How is the prep going Jomo? You have another 10 days. Texas guns not allowed.
