Newcastle united are the reason I now own a pigeon…

My other half works at a wildlife rescue centre. The other day she told me they had a domesticated pigeon brought in that she had bonded with and they couldn't release it because, you know, domesticated. She asked if we could adopt it.
I was probably leaning towards no but then she showed me pics. As you can see, like me he is black and white through and through.
The clincher? He is named after our very own bird-faced winger Gordon (apparently a total coincidence).
So yeah, I now have a pigeon… Or can I call him a magpie?

(Pictures are in his temporary accommodation at the rescue centre, not where he will be living with us)
