I was driving in the car with Cole and I looked up in the sky and there was a huge flock of birds above us. Ok, what's so strange about a flock of birds you ask, well, there were pink birds and purple birds, some were green, some orange and some blue, and it took me a minute to realize that birds don't naturally come in those colors. They looked like they flew out of an Easter basket. I will admit, I really thought I was hallucinating. I asked Cole if he saw the colored birds and he said, "yes" but you can't really rely on a 2 year old. Another strange thing about this flock was that they were flying around in a circle just over one part of the neighborhood. When Ben got home that night I told him what I saw and he reacted the way I suspected he would. He thought I was high and then I told him Cole saw them too and he still didn't believe me.
Well, a couple of days later there were the birds again. I wasn't crazy! But, again, it was only Cole and myself in the car so Ben still didn't believe me. Later that week while driving past where the flock was flying I saw a little sign hidden in the trees. "Rainbow Pigeons" and then it had a phone number under it. I've driven on this road every day since we moved to Hawaii and I had never before seen that sign. So, somebody somehow took pigeons and colored them these strange colors and trained them to fly around and then come back.
I've told many people, including my mom, Rick, Linda, and Jim about these birds and no one believes me because so far Cole and I are the only people who have ever seen them. Well I'm happy to report that the birds were out the other day and I happened to have my camera sitting in the front seat next to me and I was sitting in traffic. So, for all of you haters and disbelievers here are my Rainbow Pigeons!
Maybe I'll have to rent them for Ben's graduation so everyone can see them up close :-)
