And this week, one pigeon in Horsham was interrupting important phone calls. 

The pigeon, who frequents the window ledge of a Horsham business, distracted one professional during an important conversation. 

“Sorry, I’ve just got a pigeon tapping on my window,” the professional said as he tried to shoo the bird away before continuing his conversation as though nothing had happened.

A READER contacted the Wimmera Mail-Times after an sighting an “amusing” issue in Horsham on Friday.

A Horsham Rural City Council vehicle, travelling along Dimboola Road, appeared to have lost its load. 

“(The ute was carrying) a pallet of what may have been bags of superphosphate or potting mix, leaving behind it a trail of empty bags from Firebrace Street to the old railway crossing near the (Horsham) College,” the reader said.

“I rang the bylaws officer but I doubt the employee got a fine for an unsecured load or for littering.”
