Dear Vet Love,
I'm a decent looking male pigeon and I get a fair amount of action, but the other day I was with this stuck up female pigeon and whenever I went around behind her left side she would turn away to the right, and then when I went around on her right side she turned away to her left. I did this three times and she still kept doing it! I figured maybe it was low Interest Level, but then why doesn't she just fly away instead of standing there playing these games? What should I do next time this happens?
Sincerely,
Tired of the whole "courtship dance" thing.
Vet Love replies:
Dear Tired,
You didn't do anything wrong--you followed the rules exactly and did it three times just like I say in my book, but she still kept playing games. Well, thank her for revealing her true nature as a shrewd, manipulative game playing pigeon. Better you should find out now than after she lays four eggs and you're stuck feeding the nest! Remember guys, if she still turns away after three times, it's sayonara pigeon! Take heed all you roosters, rams, bulls, and stallions, if she wants to take you for a ride, you better be the one holding the reins!
Trust the Love Veterinarian to tell you the truth about the females of the species. You can count on me to separate the honest genetic rituals from gratuitous game playing! The Love Vet will never lead you astray!
Till next time,
Keep up the action,
Vet Love
