One of those disabled pigeons has what looked like a ball exactly the size and colour of a walnut encasing one foot.
This had the affect of rendering its gait even more gammie than before. However one of the endearing traits of birds is that their habit is to just 'get on with it', when do you ever see a depressed Sparrow or a Blue Tit that thinks it's got a peanut allergy?
Anyway closer inspection revealed that the 'walnut' was composed entirely of pigeon effluvia but in a solid rather than liquid state.
Cracking the 'walnut' proved impossible and the material is also remarkably resistant to soaking in water.
The pigeon seems to share with the chicken the ability to produce an organic substance with all the properties of Araldite Rapid.
