I am a firm believer in the theory of evolution and nothing can sway me from this conviction....except possibly the continued existence of the feathered retards we refer to as pigeons.
I mean they congregate on roads as if they were baker's back yards completely oblivious to approaching traffic.
If one does have a brain cell that fires then it invariably starts walking at high speed in the wrong direction seemingly unable to remember that it can fucking fly!
I mean surely they are just as much of a fly in the ointment for intelligent design..I mean..pigeons...why!?

I like pigeons. They aren't pretentious, they don't lie to you with pretty colors or fancy feathers, they don't pretend to be smart like lyerbirds. They are down to earth. Their physical imperfections are endearing (like how they are always missing toes). I think they are ace |

I love pigeons - they make me feel strangely nostalgic. I grew up in a fairly rural location, and saw lots of birds regularly.
I also love their cooing noises, and the funny little dance male pigeons do to attract mates |

It hasn't had enough time to evolve to deal with the existence of the motorcar.
Perhaps in 10 million years time the pigeon will have evolved to run faster than a lorry. |

It'd be good if they came out earlier so you could see them better |

Yeah but Crows and Magpies (capitalised cos they is clever) have had the same time and they are on their game.
They love a bit of flat pigeon.
Hard to understand the dove's love of roads though...surely there can't be sadists across the entire country sprinkling seed on back roads?  |

I had bats in the roof of the house I sold last year - caused a right palava. I felt like calling in the A-Team. Because, when you have a problem....and no-one else will help....
Pigeons I don't mind in small numbers, it's when 50,000 descend on you because they sense you have a Kitkat in your bag.
Seagulls are also little bastards...

I saw a young girl go up to a cluster of pigeons the other day, and instead of stamping her feet to make them fly off, she shouted "GO AWAY" at them. They seemed nonplussed by her aggrievance at them and carried on regardless |

Yeah they can be ignorant as well ..but in their defence...perhaps they were foreign? |

They congregate in the roads because it is impossible to run over the things. You can drive over the damn thing and it would still be stood there completely oblivious.

Urrggh ... hate pigeons. Unfortunately my cats love them- they are their kill of choice. I have stood in half eaten pigeons coming downstairs in the dark and cleared up roomfuls of grey feathers more than I care to remember. The piece de resistance was the other day however when they killed a homing pigeon that had got nearly all the way home to Essex after being released in Scotland but had the misfortune to land in our garden.
The cats can be hired out at a reasonable hourly rate if you have a pigeon problem .... |

If an avian plague ever hits the chicken population and wipes em out... pigeons are next in line for the dinner plate |

I think pied wagtails are the latest birds to get on the human debris bandwagon. There is one near our local greggs making a fine living out of our bakery castoffs.
They are cute as a two tone button tho so you've got to love em.

"OMG!!
I have another dead pigeon in my garden ~ this time it's headless "
Do you have GGHerts cats near by?
As for those saying pigeons are stupid, they have a reaction time about 10 times faster than humans, and if you put them in a dark box, drive them several hundred miles from home and open the box they take about 30 seconds to figure out where home is and can fly there in less time than you can drive back... be afraid |

Murder rape. I don't think I like pigeons anymore. |

I'd never recommend anyone eats the city/town common pigeon as they eat the biggest amount of rubbish and have been proven to be disease carriers, mainly from roosting in their own shit on and around buildings. Wood pigeons however are highly sought after by most restaurant chefs as they're seen as the organic fair trade equivalent.
Personally, all pigeons piss me off with their honking cooing noises, shit everywhere and damage to building plus the biggest reason they annoy me as that they hoover up all of the food that our resident and migrant songbirds eat leaving them starving.
Oh, and you find pigeons most commonly pecking at the roads as the gizzard (digestion process in pigeons) uses grit to help grind up the grain/seed/Greggs cast offs they've eaten.
Now that I've successfully managed to bore myself to tears I'll be off |

Was it murder raped, do you think?  "

Fixes will take them... but if you start finding dead foxes then you will know they were just put there as bait  |

I've had another good look & I think they're possibly baby pigeons that have fallen out of the nest as there are trees above where they're lain.  |

Yeah they can certainly navigate very well. Saw a Horizon on it once. They have a magnetic sensor in their nose that they can use like a rudimentary compass too. Fascinating stuff.
The reaction time thing is questio able tho. I mean you'd think they might be ten times quicker to run the wrong way when you approach in a large noisy vehicle (similar to the last 100 it encountered) but no. Peck peck, "coo" blank look, squish seems to be the usual routine.
(I'm nice...I always avoid them) |
