I used to work in a downtown area and I came across bird carcasses all the time which weirded me out, sometimes just bones or even a severed head. Always just assumed it was a whole variety of things like getting hit by cars or feral cats or some lazy person throwing chicken bones on the ground or whatever. Never imagined a ridiculous scenario like that.

If it's Chicago, that's just from the peregrine falcons that nest in the skyscrapers :black101:

Used to see little corpses outside the Morton Salt building all the time in the morning.

Sometimes if you get lucky you see them knock one out of the sky and swoop down to eat it. If you're *really* lucky, you'll see one decaptiate a pigeon mid-fight and rain blood on some hapless pedestrian.

Lord Lucan's widow died recently. and her obituary reads like her attempted-murderer husband wrote it.

"We can't necessarily blame Lucan for beating their children's nanny to death with a length of pipe! His wife was hysterical! He had to attempt to bash her head in!"

I'm really struggling to connect the dots on the eating pigeons=more booze for hobos theory

They idea is that they are on benefits (welfare). The benefits aren't food stamps like in the US, it's actual money you can spend anywhere. Instead of spending that money on food, they are eating pigeons and spending their food money on booze.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

Shitloads of people eat pigeon, and not just drunken hobos hell bent on buying more booze. In fact, 5 of the results on the first page for "pigeon recipes" go to UK sites so it doesn't even seem particularly weird there. What a weird-rear end story.

Yes, as wood pidgeon is a good meat from a good bird that generally lives in the countryside. Feral, city pidgeons (or, domesticated rock doves as they are also known) are full of both parasites, disease and whatever poo poo heavy metals and plastic they've bioaccumulated by foraging for sustenance in a fine mixture of traffic exhaust, trash and other pidgeons (since the stronger birds routinely peck to death weak or sick birds to eat them).

This is good for hobo selection too since the weaker or immunocompromised hobos will become sickened from eating the birds and they themselves will become prey for the silverback hobos.

Detroit, but it totally could have been a bird of prey.

Which reminds me like 15 years ago my pops was at a local park along the lake and spots a Bald Eagle diving for fish. Mentions it to one of the park rangers who laughs at my dad and says he was mistaken and that it must have been a hawk or a turkey vulture or something. Then about a week later the newspaper was like holy poo poo bald eagles are back!

Americans read fake news on the Internet or in magazines or watch it on the telly.

Actual printed newspapers (or their online editions) are much better, with a few exceptions.

Yes, they almost all have facts in them. Huge biases, but mostly facts. Like, there is nothing in US newspapers (since the demise of the Weekly World News) like those "lady in Nigeria curses a bus, snakes crawl out of her vagina" stories.
