when I got the pigeon from the spca i was behind someone who’d just paid $500 for a puppy. so I go and I fill out the paperwork and they’re like “ok that’ll be $15.” and I said “what.” and they said “that’ll be $15.” and I said “are you sure??” and they said “ya. it’s a pigeon”
Pigeons make great city birds because when they feel crowded by each other they puff up and stick their elbows out a little. The only bird to communicate "ayyyyy, I'm walkin' here" to other birds
