How come price and worth mean the same thing, but priceless and worthless are opposites

Good grief!!! I can actually answer that one... We had some baby pigeons roosting at work a couple of years ago. When they leave the nest they are about 3 weeks old and already full adult size. The only way to visibly tell that they are young is that some of their feathers appeared to be a bit fluffier for a couple of weeks.. As they don't leave the nest until they are adult size that explains why we don't see baby pigeons....

I saw some baby pigeons in their nest in York. I did try to photograph them but it was through a very dirty leaded window in the Richard III museum and they didn't come out very well.
