Janet: The reference to baby pigeons comes from a remarkable book about Ocean Grove that was published in 2002 by a Grover named Ted David. It is called “The Other Side of Ocean Grove.” In Chapter six, called “The Wisdom Bench”, there is a four page discussion that begins with these two sentences: “Where are the baby pigeons?’ Earl says, leaning over Dominick to get a good look at Joe’s face. A moment of silence follows.”
Paul, not sure what you mean by asking about the whereabouts of the baby pigeons. so let me just share my experience with a family of pigeons who took up residence on our terrace when we lived in Hudson County. The parents built a stick of two twigs, laid their egg, and on Mother’s Day (no joke, it was actually Mother’s Day), a yellow fluffy chick appeared. The baby had the “pigeon” shaped head and was kind of cute. . .for a while. It grew quickly into a gangly, gray adolescent. I thought the pigeon family would stick around longer, but they left before the offspring was fully grown. We then cleaned up the BIG MESS and said “No more.”
I watched the Marx Brothers in “Duck Soup” and that’s how I learned to train birds. Also, maybe they are sea gulls? I went to school with a Siegel. Also, does anybody know where the baby pigeons are?
Paul, thanks for the clarification. I think we even have a copy of the book!
