A pigeon that travelled over 7000 miles to Australia faces execution by Australian authorities in case it carries diseases.. bit harsh those Ozzie's. Could they not let. Vet check it out and if he is healthy then set him free or maybe give him some bird medicine... |

"Does the spelling change when they get to Aussie 
Never sure if it's pigeon or pidgeon.. seen both but I don't make this nonsense up. It's all over the press "
Oh, I didn't realise it was news, I though you were just joking and having fun in the forum's. My bad, sorry  |

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/world-australia-55667045"

It was , it was like a cartoon in my mirror, big cloud of feathers behind me. I never meant it though but can't say I feel any guilt. I call them flying rats.  |

"Did they Nab him, jab him, tab him, grab him?
Catch that pigeon now!
(Do I get a medal?)"
Only if your invention to catch the pigeon that took all day to assemble doesn't backfire and blow yourself up |

"If this pigeon flew all the way from the USA then he might be worth a few bob
How do they know it's the same one that left USA?  "
And that is my point..
Someone out a false ring on his foot.. what are the possibilities here..
To save the bird?
To throw the ossie police off the scent?
To make money?
Or something more sinister? |

Pigeons do get a bad rep Tom, you're right.

Because he got caught.
Not even the Border Force (insert macho sound effects here) catches all quarantine infringement. |

Because it might not be a native species, even so it may carry something the bird population has no immunity to
Bit like when the settlers in north america brought over smalllpox |

"It's only a poor pigeon..
Let him live..
I agree Tom.
We need to raise awareness against this injustice.
Where will it stop?
For Pigeon "
I only raise awareness but never campaign...
It's in Ossie so let swing dress protest and raise the question.. |

I don’t get it.
The pigeon flew all that way, but instead of flying inland and just casually blending in somewhere (because he can), he reports to customs/immigration control?
Sounds like a bloody idiot to me. Put him in a pie. |
