Pigeon

I was in a museum today which not only had skeletons of dinosaurs and many other animals, but also a bird exhibition consisting of stuffed animals. And in the section for pigeons, I was finally able to admire the largest species of pigeon.

Of course I also bought a souvenir: small book about the history of pigeons and their relationship to humanity from ancient times till today. And it also it contains beautiful pictures of paintings containing pigeons. I will read this book to my two pigeons so they can learn more about their relatives

This big pigeon is called victoria crowned pigeon. Can get 75 cm tall (30 in) and reach a weight of 3,5 kg (7.7 lb).

They make a huge mess, but I am used to it. They are cuddling the most time there. I just provide them fresh water every day.

She is tired from basically doing nothing

I was treated by pigeons in a superior manner to that which I was treated by my parents or other humans. In light of this profound insight, I developed an alternative theory, namely pigeonism, which represents a significant improvement on communism.

Pigeons are demonstrably superior to humans, and thus the means of production should rightfully belong to them. This insight was revealed to me in a dream. Social equality can be defined as pigeon equality. Those who exploit pigeons, including capitalists, birds of prey, falconers and humans who cook and eat pigeons, will be incarcerated in a facility akin to the Gulag, where they will be compelled to work and undergo re-education to foster their appreciation for pigeons. The severity of the crime will determine the length of incarceration.

Pigeons are cool.

They ponder the waves wistfully after we fed them corn.

Feral pigeons/domestic pigeons belong to the domesticated form of the rock pigeon. This is why they never build classic nests like other birds. The way they build their nests has to do with how rock pigeons nest: In cliffs and rock ledges.

We build nests often together. It is something she loves.

Limburg an der Lahn, in the western German state of Hesse, has just voted to exterminate its 700-strong pigeon population.

A referendum was held on 9 June - the same day as the country’s EU electiiom - after the city council’s decision to kill the birds in November 2023 proved controversial.

Just over 53 per cent of the residents who voted on Sunday approved the killing of the pigeons, Der Spiegel reports, with a total of 7,530 ‘yes’ votes cast.

“Today's result was unpredictable for us. The citizens have made use of their right and decided that the animals should be reduced by a falconer," mayor Marius Hahn (SPD) told the German news site.

This was the method initially proposed by the council last year, and the question put to voters was simply whether the decision should stand or not.

More precisely, the falconer will lure the birds into a trap, hit them over the head with a wooden stick to stun them, and then break their necks.  

Animal rights’ campaigners were horrified when the plan was announced. “We live in 2023, it can’t be that we kill animals just because they annoy us, or they’re a nuisance. That’s not acceptable,” Limburg city pigeon project manager Tanya Muller told the UK’s Sky News last year.

The cull is set to be carried out over the next two years.

Fuck them.

Now thay dont want to leave anymore

It is not the first time a bird has come under police suspicion in India.

In 2020, police in Indian-controlled Kashmir released a pigeon belonging to a Pakistani fisher after a probe found that the bird, which had flown across the heavily militarized border between the nuclear-armed nations, was not a spy.

In 2016, another pigeon was taken into custody after it was found with a note that threatened Indian prime minister Narendra Modi.

Freedom for all those pigeons!
