    Has anyone any idea what kind of bird this is? It's been wandering around outside my garden for the past few days.

    A pigeon of some indeterminate species. AKA a 'flying rat'.

    Of domestic origin, possibly a Tumbler Pigeon

    They are unknown in Wicklow.... more a creature of the big city. :D
    Its what happens when your fancy pedigree pigeon crossbreeds with some other type.

    Haven't heard that saying in a very long time, a real Dub term, just brilliant..:)

    My dad used to call all pigeons "Gickna's", probably because they poo allover the place.... :D
