Pigeons

---

I am very concerned right now. I have begun to notice many pigeons crossing the street. It has happened quite alot. When I was in the car with my eldest sis we were driving somewhere in manhatten and while we were talking we noticed this pigeon on the sidewalk that crossed the street when the light turned red. He/she didn't even fly just walked. I don't think they are afraid of people anymore. If you're walking on the sidewalk they just walk out the way until you pass by and move back into their spot. Has this happened to anybody else or is only happening here?

Yeah, they don't care about us anymore. Last week I was crossing a big pitch and there was a group of crows and pigeons trying to get insects. I had to walk past them so as I was walking all the crows went all over the place to get away, but the pigeons just kept at it. I think its pretty obvious who the bitch is.

lol, I know exacly what you mean.

Its like an alfred hitchock movie...

Except without the cross dressing momma's-boy...

Thats true, who can we get to dress up?

I think I see Steve raising his hand!

hehehe Steve is officially nominated as the guy who gets to be the ross dressing momma's-boy, now we have an alfred hitchhock

Are you complaining because the pigeons are jay walking in your town? Now see where the lack of discipline has gotten us? How will my putting on a dress solve that? Anyway, a tight kilt might flatter my butt.

thats true.. hmm and my complaint with the pigeons is the loud noise at 5am. and the crap i have to clean off my car...

use a pelot(however you spell it) gun. that will show them.

Not sure if that's legal (or safe) in the city. You might take out some windows along with the pigeons.

Its like the birds are getting more brave.. i had like a suicide bird the other day.. standing in the middle of the road while i was driving and i couldnt stop.. and i killed it :scream\_cat:

Thing is, pigeons and other birds that generally congregate in cities or other densly populated areas are so used to human-interaction, we have become a normal part of their day. They have adapted to us and we, them. Although I don't know how much we've adapted to pigeons. lol.

If you ever come to London, jump on a metropolitan line train between Baker Street and Wembley Park; do it for a few days and you'll see lots of pigeons who jump on at Baker Street, wander around the carriage for a bit and then jump off at the next stop where there's regularly a small crowd of other pigeons apparently waiting for them. Now that's freaky

Lmbo, pinkranger that's funny. My sister is afraid to run over pigeons for the sake of her tires so she'll just jerk the car.

Barebutt (haha) if there are pigeons waiting for the train, that's how you know birds are soon to take over.

The sad part is that they're not paying proper carfare.

Earlier today I was at the Wild Oats (health food supermarket), and there's an area out front where you can sit and eat your stuff. Pigeons hang around there, and they are bold. They've taken to standing on one leg, like a crane. I think they've figured out how to look cuter, or distressed, so people will pity them and throw them overpriced baked goods.

they'd like you more if you dressed up in that kilt

They just be just as happy if I were naked. As long as I gave them a cookie. The problem is that they are a blight on the area. Pigeon turds go everywhere. They can damage the paint on your care if you leave them too long; they are hard to remove from the side of a building; and they allegedly carry nasty germs.Otherwise, I'd try to train them. If I could get them to line up, standing on one leg, then switch legs, then bounce their heads, it'd be pretty cool. They are pretty intelligent.

And yet, they look so stupid.
