    how many different species of pigeon are there in the world?

    For some reason ,I thought that it was 525 ,a recent tv prog,mentioned that it was 310.Don't count the many different varieties of feral pigeon or peoples racing pigeons ,I mean recognised species.

    No. I actually walked to a restaurant that serves "my kind of food". ("We meet your special dietary needs".) Yay!! It was delicious too. First venture after five months.

    They would probably be glad to see you in that kind of weather.
