I'm back from school now, they loved the pigeons, lots of "ahhh he's so cute" from the little girls. Some of them were very observant and noticed the ring round their leg and they were amazed at how far they could fly. I used a map of the UK to show them.
I'm also surprised at how calm the pigeon was with all the children peering round and wanting to touch.
They all had turns to pet the pigeon then they all had a go at drawing the pigeons and the basket, I held one of the pigeons for them whilst they did this.
Just having some trouble uploading the photos at the moment, I'll get let them up later on (well one has worked)
