Urban Myth Unveiled

You know there's that urban myth about there being no such thing as a baby pigeon?

Well, I saw one yesterday and now I know why they're so rare - their parents kill them because they're annoying little cock ends. Fucking squawking endlessly and generally making a nuisance of themselves.

That is all. Carry on.

Tasty in a granary bun though. When you can get them.

Pigeons are flying rats.

that's another urban myth i'm afraid.

sure it wasn't just a midget pigeon? rather than a baby

we need photographic evidence
until such time
it remains a myth

They're doves arent they?

no, doves are virgin pigeons...

wahey!

the urban equivalent of rock doves aren't they?

You never see them in trees!

You see baby pigeons all the time, it's just that they are so big by the time they fledge they look as big as their parents. You probably saw a runt, ooops, er, a vertically challenged pigeon...

You can tell the young ones cause they're not covered in shit/oil/grit etc..

they younger ones tend to have less tattoos

And they carry knives

What Platini said, I had some woodpigeons nest in the tree outside my flat last year, and can confirm that they are ugly little fuckers, but dont leave the nest until they are basically massive and look like adult pigeons, now where did I put that Calcium carbide...

Just found this...

"Really pigeons are one of the few species that have "made it" and been able to adapt to survive in the environment that we have created when we destroyed their former habitats. Pigeons are a species known as the Rock Dove. That sounds nice right? They used to live on cliffs and rocky ledges and didn't eat garbage or old KFC before we were around. Some bird guides still call them the Rock Dove or Rock Pigeon, though others have changed the designation to "Common Pigeon."

One interesting thing, is that pigeons are in fact feral animals, domesticated by humans several thousand years ago and now existing as a semi-wild populations in urban areas world-wide. (For those of you knowledgeable about how domestication generally affects species' appearances, this will explain the piebald coloration that many pigeons have.)We changed their behavior to tolerate our presence and be dependent on us for food --- then when they try to live side by side with us in the only way they know how, we call them "rats of the sky" and kick them. Not cool humans, not cool."

Hmmmmmmm...

I'd eat a woodpigeon but I've heard they re a bit chewy.
