The World's Friendliest Pidgeon

And I shall name you... Sancho Pancho.
There are lots of birds in Uruguay. In fact, the word Uruguay is an old GuaranĂ­ - the natives who were quickly and completely removed by the Europeans - phrase for "river of the painted birds." Green birds, white birds, little birds, big birds. Lots of birds.

In my particular apartment complex, there are lots of pidgeons, all of which are friendly. However, one pidgeon in particular seems to have taken a liking to me. Everytime I go out to get some air, it, without faults, flys and lands within three feet of me.

I decided to name him Sancho Pancho and we start English lessons on Monday.
