Pigeons can be superstitious

Thread Hop. Birds, eh? I don't see much wildlife, so I don't know much about birds.

If you stare into the abyss long enough, it stares into you.

@kegi: Given that we're one of the most violent species on the planet and certainly the most dangerous (on a macro scale, that is), I call that stupid. XD Of course, your average person lacks the determination, strength and/or care to actually kick a pigeon to death, but god knows I've considered it once or twice. =)

Can you think inside the chimney?

Pigeons are mainly annoying because they poop on everything.

But seriously, in the big city they're so used to people that they aren't really phased at all by passersby. Worst I ever saw was in Athens. I actually got a bunch of them to land on my arm.

My dad always says that he wants to wear steeltoed boots into NYC for just that purpose. I doubt he'd ever actually do it, though.

Isn't that good luck?

#186631 kegisak Sun, 6th May '12 4:56:27 PM

@Turtle: Yes, but so can people.

The fact of the matter is, pigeons are actually fairly intelligent, it seems. I mean, think about homing pigeons: they had as high as a 98% success rate on WW 2 missions. Pigeons are capable of recognizing humans who have mistreated them. All pigeons are, is trusting.

Yeah, it's not so much stupidity as they've just been conditioned via feeding; they've learned the the majority of people aren't going to bother them because frankly, most people won't.

I remember this one time our old rottweiler killed one. You could see a bunch of worms inside of it.

Oh I know people can be superstitious ... I just find it amusing that Pigeons can be so as well. Does that say good or bad about people when compared to pigeons?

Speaking of wildlife - I have ferret thingy (or more of them) what walking behind wall and attic, during night. That's fun experience.

And the funny thing is my dad says that European Starlings and House Sparrows are the annoying ones. Maybe it's because we have feeders.

I used to hate the Mourning Doves that would come to our feeder... they were big and would scare all the cute little birds away.

Starlings are really neat, although an invasive species. We have a few in our area that can mimic car alarms.

We've had a hawk come in the feeder area at times.

I quite like Magpies myself. There's one near my work, and one near my house.

You can tell how intelligent they are. They really move with purpose.

I remember I went to Athens too and had a run in with pigeons landing on my arm. The problem was that it was because of a swindler that grabbed my hand, put bird food in it, and took a picture while the pigeons were eating it, then tried to make me pay him.

One reason I hate going to foreign countries: People on the street always trying to sell you crap.

I just got to the Apple Orb. Poor, poor, Zecora. I think her fate might be even sadder than Pinkie Pie.

I don't interact with birds much, so I have nothing to contribute.

Fun pigeon fact: Other than doves and dodos, they share a common ancestor with absolutely no other species, and scientists have no idea what they evolved from or how.

I see doves more often where I live. They're nice. So are the crows.
