today i was sitting with my neighbour chatting, her two girls and my daughter playing together upstairs when one of them squealed, "A pigeon! A pigeon just landed on the roof!" We sometimes, in the spring/summer, have ring-necked doves which look somewhat like large pigeons come and frequent our yard, but this was clearly a city-slickin' pigeon that came to visit today. It had a band on one of it's legs, and hung around the house/yard for 2 hrs before dusk (not sure, it could still be out there).... I was curious what the 'meaning' behind its visit was, and came across this, which I *love*:
The pigeon is the totem of goals, focus, and perseverence. This unassuming bird holds the qualities of home, security, and maternal instincts. Those with this totem have often experienced unsettling childhoods and are constantly challenged to find security and clarity in all areas of their lives. The pigeon totem assists us to find the stability and home that has been lost to us in the past. The pigeon's gift to us is the ability to accomplish through our attunement with nature. If a pigeon has come to you, its message is to set clear goals and to keep your sights and sensitivities focused on where you want to be. Do not be concerned with HOW you will get there, only how it will look or be when you arrive.
Thanks to this site for the beautifully-written info! :D
