Pigeons have excellent eyesight. At least 10 times better than ours.
A film is made up of lots and lots of frames which are quick to us so we can see the film but really, really slow to a pigeon like a slideshow.
We see 25 or so frames a second as movement, but a pigeon would need 250 frames a second to simulate movement.
They would get very bored with a film.

Reely? I think I must be a pigeon - as I find it very difficult to sit through a whole film in one go. I rarely go to the cinema.

There are very few reel to reel cinemas left in the UK now as the majority have been digitalised.
The loveliest cinema I have been to recently is the Kinema in the Woods in Woodhall Spa, Lincs
You really do step back in time - beautiful.

I went to the cinema to see the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special, but otherwise just once in the last 12 years.
I went to a premier with wifey, here in Morocco.
Before the film were lots of presentations to the cast and crew which were filmed.
As they were filming an actress in front of wifey and talking to her, wifey's chair broke, she shot into the air, Mexican wave style then fell out of sight onto the floor. Embarrassed she crawled out of the cinema and i crawled out after her.
We still haven't seen the film, though have become friends with the actress!

That must have been so funny at least its very funny to imagine! It's a wonder that hasn't been shown on ' It'll be Alright on the Night'
My nephew works for Carlton and he has been involved in the digitalising of cinemas all over the UK.
He and his fiancé frequently go to Leics Sq premiers

People are banned from feeding them now
So I heard.
I loved feeding them when i was a child.
But I understand they're a pest.
Two of the guys from the role-playing soc became pest controllers.
They use to catch squirrels and get paid for clearing an area of them, then release them into another park and offer their services to remove them.
