Check out this old video of King (then Crown Prince) Abdullah catching a pigeon in the football stadium of Buraida, Qassim. Next to him you can see the late King Fahad. The video was probably taken in 1988.

Very interesting and amusing. It looks like a dove. Any reason in particular it might have been released there, or was it just passing by and stopped in to visit? :)
What an amusing video. Looks like some kind of inauguration ceremony.

Thanks! :)
I laughed when I saw this. It made the king seem so human and likeable.It must be such a boring life to have to be a dignitary and have to listen to yawn-yawn b-o-r-i-n-g speeches. Nothing like a pigeon to add a bit of humanity.
