Never Thought My Best Friends Would Be Pigeons

On 3rd Aug 2026 By Absurd RhioIn Pigeon Surveillance, Pigeons6 Comments

Six years ago, I never imagined two wild wood pigeons would become my best friends. Meet Squigeon and Goose, two wonderfully different birds who completely changed how I see pigeons. From food preferences to funny personalities, they've taught me that wildlife is far more individual than we often realise.

Apparently, There Were MORE Good Things.

On 17th Jul 2026 By Absurd RhioIn Little lights in the dark, Memorable Days6 Comments

After a couple of stressful weeks, I decided to stop and remember the good things instead. Somehow that list ended up including finally getting my medication, a surprise Starbucks bear, seeing the trees again, becoming weirdly obsessed with washing powder, breathtaking sunrises, and, of course... even more pigeons.

Grief blogging, ADHD chaos, ED recovery, and Cyberpunk 2077 outbursts. Sometimes Biscoff. Always feelings.
