I have a pair of pigeons outside my office using a dense bush as a nesting site for the second year running. They have actually created a runway but like Gibraltar the winds on approach are variable.
A landing usually includes a steep 40 degree approach with starboard wing fold just beofre touchdown. Aerodynamic and arerested braking is achieved with the left wing fully spread and engaging on the branches to the left.
They then back up sliightly, complete wing fold, and then taxi into the hangar
