Next time you think of a Pigeon in a negative way just think…..
Pigeons Are Misunderstood Geniuses.
Most people don't realize just how incredible Pigeons truly are.
These gentle birds aren’t just loyal partners—they're brilliant, complex beings. Tucked inside their beaks are tiny magnetic crystals that act like a natural GPS, helping them navigate thousands of miles with stunning precision. They can also hear frequencies too low for us to detect, read polarized light patterns in the sky, and even see in ultraviolet light, giving them a vibrant view of the world we can't imagine.
Pigeons are also remarkably intelligent. Studies show they can count, recognize their own reflections, understand abstract ideas, and even grasp probability, sometimes outperforming young children. When raising their young, they produce a special milk-like substance in their throats to nourish their chicks. They form lifelong bonds with their mates and use different coos and calls to communicate danger, love, and territory.
History has seen their courage, too. During wartime, a pigeon named Cher Ami delivered a message that saved 194 soldiers—even after losing a leg. Sadly, despite all this, many pigeons were abandoned when we no longer “needed” them, and they stayed close to humans because that's what they knew.
Pigeons are not pests. They are intelligent, emotional, deeply social beings that remember us. It's time we remember them. ❤️
SOCIOPATH OF THE DAY! 😡 😡

I urge everyone to share this post. Disgusting treatment by @waitrose My daughter Sadie Travis used to work with this young man, who is a lovely lad. He deserves better. Shame on Waitrose🤬
Rescued in June, Kipekee lost her mother to human-wildlife conflict. She arrived at our Nursery in very poor condition, and it has taken round-the-clock care to nurse her back to health.
Along the way, she has picked up a number of bodyguards - older orphans who have made it their mission to make sure this plucky little girl always has a chaperone. When Muridjo realised no one (elephant) had eyes on Kipekee, she immediately she ran over to check the little one was A-okay.
This is just the beginning of Kipekee’s journey back to the wild — one you can support through an adoption: https://t.co/ZB2Ok3Lu8J
Mud bath time at Voi: where chaos reigns supreme!
The moment the orphans spot the waterhole, all semblance of calm vanishes. Bodies collide mid-air as they launch themselves into the mud. Trunks spray water in every direction. Someone's climbing on top of someone else. Three others are wrestling for the deepest spot.
Mud-caked elephants emerge looking like terracotta sculptures, completely satisfied with their chaotic masterpiece. This is Voi at its finest: wild, joyful and messy. Perfect!
Our Voi herd is a group of orphans who are reclaiming their life back in the wild. Discover who's who at the mud bath at: https://t.co/o5YQb20LXh
