So I ate my words and did another All Pigeon Storytime last Saturday! (I did one once before<\/a> and said I probably wouldn’t do it again. Pigeon is HIGH ENERGY!)<\/p>\n

It was fun, though, so I am glad that I gave this program another chance and expanded it. Sadly, not too many came… but it was enough fun that I may do an encore presentation at a better date and time in the future \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I also got to use some cool Pigeon-y things: window clings<\/a>, a shirt<\/a>, and a talking Pigeon toy<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\nHand out special Pigeon nametags (pre-numbered for the raffle drawing at the end of the program).

*Mr. Pigeon and Mr. Duckling<\/em>
\n(I modified this from \u201cMr. Turkey Went Out One Day\u201d)
\nMr. Pigeon went out one day
\n(Hold up one hand)
\nIn bright sunshiny weather
\nHe met Mr. Duckling along the way
\n(Hold up other hand)
\nThey stopped to talk together
\n(Hold up both hands, Have hands \u201ctalk\u201d to each other)
\nCoo, Coo, Coo
\nQuack, quack, quack
\nCoo, Coo, Coo
\nQuack, quack, quack
\nAnd then they went back
\n(hands behind back) Quack!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
