    When I was a child, my mom took in an injured pigeon & nursed him back to health. I can't remember his name (50 yrs ago), but he grew very attached to us. After my mom released him, he stuck around our yard. Anytime any of us left to walk somewhere, this sweet pigeon would fly along with us. If we went in somewhere, he'd sit in a tree till we came back out & then fly along with us again. Whenever we sat down outside, he would land on us & snuggle. ❤

    I have a story for you.
    When I was 10, a pigeon flew to my window and stood at its brink on one leg. The other was obviously broken. My mother and I took the pigeon to a clinic (vets were not common in cities those days). A doctor used a wooden tongue flattener and a bit of tape to cure the bird's leg.
    Some weeks later, that same pigeon came back to my window, a bit of tape still lagging its cured leg. And it had brought a companion with an injured wing.
    I've always wondered how the first pigeon could convince the other to go and get some help.

I ran down stairs from the 2nd floor of where I used to live and scared that mother f-ing blue Jay away. Who knew that blue Jays were so vicious towards a harmless defenseless pigeon baby chick. Had I nor intervene I can say with certainty it would die on that very same spot it fell cause that blue Jay was attacking it. I was so mad. I said to the blue Jay: I hope a hawk has you for lunch 😠. That baby pigeon used to chirp like a baby chick 🐤 as a newborn pigeon it sounded just like a chicken coop at a farm. I loved that pigeon very much 😢😭. At first I thought it was female so I gave it a female name. 😅 I was wrong all along it turned out to be a male pigeon. My dad scared it away cause he would not stop complaining about the poop on the floor and it didn't came back until after 6 months later. A lady in the 3rd floor thought it was odd that a pigeon was so tame so she put some rice in her hand and tge pigeon came to her and ate from her hand. She realized it was one of those raised by humans. One day it came back to the 2nd floor and I recognized it right away. He was a very handsome white cock with a few black feathers. When my dad saw it for the first time in 6 months he tried grabbing it. It never lety dad grab him only me and my sister. My dad kept trying to grab it but it never let him eventually my dad scared him sway after every attempt of trying to grab him. The reason why that pigeon didn't let my dad grab it is because he hated my dad. He remembered how many times my dad complained about the poop on the floor and he also remembered how many times my dad said he was fed up with the poop in the floor that he just wanted to get rid of it. My dad would not stop complaining much 🙄about the poop on the floor and just wanted to get rid of it. Pigeons have an extraordinary memory. He knew my dad didn't like him at first. I guess you can say my dad wasn't his cup of tea. Birds know who likes them or not and birds have their very unique personality. Moral of the story don't say mean stuff around birds cause they'll take it personal. That's my story.

      There was an experiment on domesticating foxes and it only took about 10 generations to make them act and look very differently from their wild counterparts (bigger eyes, more interest in being around humans and wanting human attention and approval, no fear)

    A couple of cities have managed to completely erase “problem” pigeons… by giving them quality food & roosts. Their guano is not destructive when they’re properly fed - they even help new plants to grow. Their comfort means there’s less pressure to reproduce, which controls the population, & they’re a pleasure to be around. Compassion is a very effective solution to so many problems. Thanks for sharing Herman.

      @d R Their "guano" in some environs become incredibly toxic. The birds can have a habit of roosting in areas where they end up covering entire areas in their waste. I don't mind these birds, but where I work we had to do preventive measures to get them to stop roosting in our main walking way. They would poop on customers, and their poop got all over the walk-way to the point that you couldn't even take strollers down it without the wheels getting covered. There are actually many places nearby far better for them to roost in, including forests. At least our methods were non-violent, and simply remove access to those spaces they were using. I keep hoping the flock will go to one of the much healthier places nearby that they could be using.

    When I lived in an apartment in Belgrade, a met a pigeon I named Dwayne. Whenever my husband or I would sing or play guitar, Dwayne came to sit on the balcony and bob his head along to the music. If we stopped singing, he'd crane his head and wait till we continued to keep dancing. His favorite things included rolling in the flower beds, hopping along our clothes line when our clean clothes were drying (because he got more attention from us), and trying to get inside the apartment to spend more time with us because he missed us when we went inside. The people of Belgrade leave food out for pigeons, so we never fed him and he was never interested in our food. The bond was one of love. Leaving Dwayne was the hardest part about moving, and I loved that city. Pigeons are amazing.

One day she came into the garage to listen to the music on the radio, soon she coming in the house and we fell in love. She layed her first egg in my hand. I put a stool by my bed so she hop up on the bed in the morning, she would stand on my pillow and wait for me to wake up, she would run to me and kiss me all over my face. She gone now and I miss her so. Now I have 200 pigeons, they just found me.

    • @animalobsessed1
      @animalobsessed1 3 года назад +80

      Pigeons are actually a domesticated species. They were originally domesticated as carrier birds, or for food, but nowadays there are a bunch of different breeds, bred for a variety of purposes: Pigeon shows, flight competitions, or just as pets.
      The pigeons you see in cities are the strays that were abandoned by their owners when carrier pigeons became outdated. They are no more native or "wild" than a stray dog would be. That's also why you see them mostly in cities, and rarely in the country side. They still rely on humans to survive. It's a real shame how humans have discarded them after all the help they provided in building our civilization.
      Also, the liquid white pigeon poo you always see in cities, is actually the result of nutritional deficiencies/upset stomach, because these poor birds are living off of stale bread and other leftovers (unless some kind people buy seed mixes to feed them). Healthy pigeon poo isn't anywhere near as disgusting.

Or consider owls, birds that are symbols of intelligence everywhere, yet, due to their brains being fine-tuned to visual and auditory cues for hunting purposes, lack the survival instinct to get out of the way of cars that other birds possess.

      They carry a disease called psittacosis which they pass on through their droppings. The droppings dry up and blow around, and people inhale them. It causes pneumonia and kills about 1% of the people who catch it. A few pigeons are not a risk. The problem is pigeons (and sparrows, which present the same problem) have adapted well to urban environments, and without predators to keep their numbers down they create infestations which greatly increase the risk of psittacosis flying around.

      If one observes Pigeon for a while that "dumb stare" as many would describe it turns around , there's much more going on behind it than people realise.
      In a way it is also obvious... considering how quickly and well Pigeons adapted to live almost perfectly along with Humans and within Human society and having a rough understanding what humans do to get around safely .( don't forget that Humans technically are the most dangerous/uncalculateable predator on earth in a way ). All that takes a lot of Brainpower to process.

      Yes. I wish everyone was as kind and also weren't prejudiced towards certain animals, such as pigeons. So many ignorant people think they're awful but they're not and should be treated with respect, as any creature should, be it big or small. I rescued an injured pigeon a few years ago that had been attacked by a cat in my back garden. I took it to the local vet, assuming it could be treated and then I'd expected to be able to rehabilitate it at home and release it when it was recovered. To my shock, and disgust, the vet said that here in the UK they're 'officially' regarded as vermin so he had no option but to euthanise it. I was appalled and very upset. Had I known that I would, of course, never have taken it there and would have tried to treat it at home myself, as I did with a little blackbird baby one day that had also been attacked by a cat in the garden. With that little baby bird I took it in, realising it's wing was broken and mangled and that it couldn't survive. I literally sat with it cradled in my hands for a long time, to comfort it, and it was peaceful then. When, after awhile, I tried to lay it down in a little box I'd lined with a soft towel it became agitated but I managed to soothe it, quickly going to the kitchen to get a drink, but by the time I came back it had passed away. I was so heartbroken and wish I hadn't left it even for 5 minutes. :-(

I bought pigeon food just for pigeons. I had pigeons in the garden too that could fly. Friday stayed with us for about a week. He knew where the kitchen was. And the bedroom. Each night he'd settle down next to me, in the bedroom. I too was impressed with how sharp pigeons are, mentally. He had access to the garden and one day, he left. Without saying goodbye.

    He is living the best pidgeon life right now. He gets and gives snuggles, doesn't HAVE to fly to get food, baths and shelters. They are such mild and calm creatures. And I love his proud cooing! Our chihuahua (male) grew up with chickens (all female) and became part of the flock. They would dust and sunbathe. When we introduced chicks, he was smitten. He's a little afraid of hurting them, but he lays down where they are and permits them to sit on his wide back. He looks so pleased with himself!

    I adopted a pigeon too. He had some kind of problem with flying and just couldnt stay up in the air long. I had him for a couple of years he would fly out my window and sit on a branch right outside it. He had a decent life...lived with my cats who never hurt him...they actually played with him. He ate well, slept on top of a door where I put a fluffy towel and became just one of the crowd. He was INTELLIGENT and knew his name. He'd snuggle with the cats and also with me. Very unexpected behavior I had never housed a pigeon for that long. I RESCUED a lot of them through the years but of course they got better and I released them. They are really the cutest birds. Fluffy and cute!

    I had a pigeon during 2 years. His name was Peter. When I found it, it was a baby lost on the railway near my home. We were in August, very sunny, very hot. He had an illness like proliferations of the skin and one of his wing was broken. I looked after him and cured him during several weeks and he stayed with me, free in my appartment. When I worked, Peter used to seat near the mouse of my computer near my hand, on my shoulder, followed me when I moved in my flat, (as an author, a writer, I work at home). We have so many wonderful moments together. Unfortunately, in 3 days, Peter developped a suddent illness which began to paralyze him. Nothing to do to cure him. Peter had to be euthanized rather than die asphyxiated. People say and people think that pigeons are dirty, foul, and can transmit diseases; some people use many ways to kill them. Those persons don't know anything of these wonderful birds: clever, tender, nice, more intelligent that some humans. Peter will be always in my heart and in my memories. Please, If you meet pigeons, let them alive and try to save them if there are in trouble. Thanks. Olivia, from Paris, France.

      The imporrtant question when someone is saying something like "I need a life" is their motivation to say that: Do they only say that because other people make them feel like the way they live their life isn't right? In that case you're totally right.
      But people also say stuff like that because they're unhappy with their own lives. In that, they really "need a life" or rather, they need a life that's right for them. That might even be the case for someone who seems to have a great, meaningful life.

    Pigeons are incredibly smart. We didn't realise this until we "baby sat" some pigeons whilst our friend went abroad. Following this, we kind of fostered a racing pigeon that had gone off track for a few days. Being unfamiliar with how to catch and handle racers, we had no way of reading it's tag. So, every lunch time, when we came home, this bird waited for us. We shared our "lunch" (ie it received pigeon food) and a bowl of fresh water....then one day, it flew off. We humans have such hubris thinking we are so smart, but when it comes to our judgment of birds and beasts, we are as dumb as..stupid

    In the early 2000’s I was working for a big landscaping company doing jobs in downtown Seattle. I found an unmoving pigeon just sitting on the sidewalk, making no attempt to escape at all. I found a safe place for him in the truck and took it home with me that evening, securing him in a small animal carrier in my garage away from my cats and dogs. The next day I was off work and drove it 30 miles to a place that rescues animals of all kinds. Not long after I found a duck hit by a car just down my street and did the same. I don’t know if either survived, but I know I did what I could to alleviate the suffering of fellow creatures. I have stopped and picked up a turtle hit by a car and taken it to the humane society. They said they thought they could glue the shell back together. I am not special. My point is that all of us can help the vulnerable and suffering among us if we are willing, rather than saying, “too bad, but what can I do?” and going on by.

      @UCXJlRr1Qw8eICP-c-Ks-D3Q yeah, well, if we always did the convenient thing, very little outside our regular “duties” would get done. I think it is my duty to inconvenience myself to help when I can. Don’t get me wrong, not every rescue I have made turned out well. I have picked up sick birds and other animals since I was little. Not all of them survived, but at least they died in peace without being eaten by ants or pecked to death by other birds. I don’t know how many animals including cats and dogs I have picked up even when traveling cross country and taken to a humane society, and I don’t know how many were saved medically or found homes. Some were very likely euthanized. It hasn’t always been convenient to help people sometimes, either. It was just my choice. I never had to stop the world, but I did have to delay my life, spend money, or do extra to make up for lost time. You did the right thing in helping the poor bird, anyway. It isn’t always about saving a life. Sometimes it is just decreasing suffering.

      I always help an animal in need if I can. I don't know how some people just don't care about another sentient consciousness suffering.

      What about chickens and pigs? Aren't they worth saving from becoming human food?

    There’s a lesson here: all animals are sentient and far more emotionally intelligent than we have titled them to be!

      I definitely agree. Each and everyone has its own personality.
