Flying through the air
Speeding like a race car with wings
Flying ahead of his flock
Showing off just for me
He's not an eagle
Or a duck
He doesn't belong to a flock of geese
He's a pigeon named Dandy
My best friend
He loves me
Some people may think I'm crazy
For having such a pet
But seriously, he's smart
He's the one that knows me the best
If I'm sad or upset
He'll let me know he's there
Sitting on my shoulder
Pecking at me and cooing in my ear
He didn't grow up in a farmers' barn
He's an extraordinary bird
Dandy is a pure bred Racing Homing Pigeon
He actually races; he's no ordinary bird
With his dark blue check feathers
And glowing maroon eyes
With his perfect ten flight wings
He's beautiful, especially when he's flies
His waddle on his beak
Looks astonishing; quite exquisite
He's so proud of the way he looks
I'm sure if he could, he would admit it
His band number is 5356
This band of his is on his left leg
I'm sure of it
Dandy's not the prettiest pigeon
In our loft of many
But he's beautiful in my eyes
I give you my word on it
Flying through the air
Speeding like a race car with wings
Flying ahead of his flock
Showing off just for me
He's not an eagle
Or a duck
He doesn't belong to a flock of geese
He's a pigeon named Dandy
My best friend
He loves me
Adding your comment:
You know...your cat would be mighty upset to find out you chose a bird over her as your favorite pet to describe. 
But I promise I won't tell.
