The only thing there is to be jealous about a pigeon is their blissful unawareness of the universe around them.

I loathe all birds. Never trust a feathered biped.

Cute little guy but, a pigeon. No grace or peace involved.

Elias_Maluco posted:Turn on your monitor I've done bird banding, and most birds we caught with mist nets: extremely fine nets you hang between trees near food sources, practically invisible, that the birds fly into. You can then extract them from the nets, apply the bands, and release them. Mourning doves (which are just pigeons but boring) are an exception. You catch those by putting a lobster trap on the ground and scattering some birdseed into it. They see nothing concerning about going into the metal cage on the ground and once inside, can't figure out how to leave through the open doorway. Then you just open the top and pull them out one by one.

Pigeons are the humans of the bird family. They are stupid and ugly and filthy and mean and self destructive, yet they are everywhere and spreading by the day

I'm biased because my family in Europe breed pigeons, but it sucks they were bred for hundreds of years then people decided "eh nvm", let them go free and feral, then got mad at them for having the audacity to continue living but. I'm also sensitive and love pigeons

TACD posted:lmao I've seen a pigeon fly full speed into a solid brick wall Grouse are the dumbest birds in existence. There's a whole joke genre called "And that's how I got my grouse dinner!" from accidentally flushing them and having them fly straight into trees, walls, vehicles... whatever stationary object is nearby... hard enough to kill themselves. Their whole survival strategy is "poo poo out billions of eggs and hope some of them make it". Pigeons are a different order but they're probably not far off.
