Coco Khan is right to enjoy the unexpected delights of autocorrect (Autocorrect can be ‘ducking’ annoying, but we’ll miss its accidental poetry when it’s gone, 7 June).

• Emma Beddington is not alone. Our bird table is visited by Pigeon, Pigeon’s Friend and Pigeon‑Pigeon-Doesn’t-Like (The kids are back from university – and I’m counting on them to restore my sanity, 12 June). We haven’t seen Pigeon‑With-A-Poorly-Leg for a while, and I fear the worst.
