Frances – The Pigeon Of Plenty
Have to say, it’s not very often that I fancy a male pigeon, but Frances. I would.
Thankfully, not many pigeons read this, but I would.
Regardless of whether you agree or not, it’s a good story:
“Frances is an affectionate, irresistible white king pigeon who loves to follow Elizabeth Young around the house, pitter-pattering after her like a feathery dog. But he wasn’t always that way. Young, a San Francisco resident and accidental king pigeon rescuer, shares Frances’ story and the heartrending plight of these beautiful birds.”

It’s the vid he made for a song called ‘Goodbye London’, shot in London and featuring yours truly in the opening sequence. Okay, so it’s not me exactly, but that’s probably what I’d tell Frances.

One day, perhaps we will learn.
In the meantime, I’m so thankful there are people like this who care.
Francis is amazing.
But then again, most pigeons are.
