I'm so glad more people are appreciating pigeons now. They've been domesticated and owned as pets for so long that they're really more like stray dogs or stray cats than any other 'pest.' We brought them to our cities and then abandoned them, and I'm glad they're getting recognition for how sweet and smart they are!

Pigeons have been in every role. Heraldic animal, animal raised for meat, service animal, pet, military animal (and simultaneously peace symbol 🕊️), and now I guess we've decided they're vermin and got collective amnesia about their intelligence, but seriously, name a more iconic creature.

I grew up in rural areas where there weren't just tons of pigeons hanging out. But whenever I visited "the big city" I loved seeing all the pigeons and I love the cooing sounds they make. Everyone else who is more used to seeing them in a more urban area thought it was so weird because they hated them. Even when visiting a foreign country, the pigeons were there and I tried to speak their cooing language and make friends.

I live in a major US city in a place where it tends to be very hot 'round the clock in summertime. Like many city-dwellers, I did not have a very positive impression of pigeons, what with all of the pooping and half-ass nest building mess. One night, though, during a nasty heat wave (we're talking over 100F even at midnight), I went through an area at my workplace where there was a pigeon nest on top of a block wall, under the edge of a roof. Both parents were present, but one of them was perched on the roof edge while the other was hanging onto the edge of the block wall, vigorously flapping its wings. After a good five minutes, they traded places, and the flapping started up again from the one now hanging on the block wall. I suddenly realized that they were taking turns fanning the chicks, trying to keep them cool despite temperatures that can, and have, killed adult humans. I went inside, got a cup of water, and left it near the wall for them; after I walked a few feet away, the resting parent flew down to drink, then took up fan position while the other went to drink. (A few hours later, I found that one of my coworkers--an older lady who rarely had much of a kind word or gentle demeanor for anybody--had brought out the little battery-powered fan from her desk and clamped it to the roof edge a short distance from the nest, and both parents were taking a break and preening each other.) I've had a different view of pigeons ever since that incident. That kind of parental devotion deserves some recognition.

Wilbur, our rescue pigeon, was quite a character. He LOVED playing in the tub like he was a duck. He would stand on the toilet seat while you got into the tub, then jump to the edge of the tub while you brought your knee over to the edge. He would hop onto your knee and wait until you slowly lowered the knee into the tub. Then he would spread his wings and float away. If you happened to walk into the bird room with a towel. he would just have a fit because he thought he was going to take a dip! He lived 15 years after he came to us. We still miss him every day. ❤

One more important note about the pigeon nests: a lot of the time when you see a photo of a pigeon with like, five sticks? That's actually a "stress nest". That's a female pigeon who needed to lay, but was kicked off of her nest by another pigeon (or had it destroyed in some other way). That's like making fun of someone for using the bathroom in the bushes, then realizing their house caught fire while they were headed to pee- yeah, it's not the most dignified, but the body's gotta do what the body's gotta do and we're just doing our best!

Heart-rending, but complete bullshit. That's a "nest" by rock pigeon standards. A nests only function is to keep the eggs from rolling out. In a tree, you need a rather elaborate nest setup. In a rock-face, full of nooks, crannies and other uneven surfaces, you probably just need a few sticks. - When humans began building "mountains" of their own. Rock pigeons moved in and are still trying to figure out where the nooks and crannies are in our bizarre perfectly smooth concrete crags. Leading to, yes, nests that look kinda pathetic. - But it still works because there's plenty of flat surfaces and few natural predators. Considering they're considered "sky-rats", they have no problem surviving and breeding in cities.

Baby pigeons are not fed by their parents by putting the food into their beaks like other birds do, they don't open their beak voluntarily. The babies reach into the throat of their parents and eat from there. At the first time both parents produce some kind of milk in their throats to feed the chicks, later they give them predigested grains. Pigeon experts feed baby pidgeons with feeding bottles like in this (German language) video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KVXyU5vXZ5o.html Alternatively you can hold the food between your finger tips and the baby gets its food out of there. Only feed them grain or grain flakes, never any kind of insects, worms or cat food. Their diet is strictly vegan.

I work voluntarily for a local pigeon rescue, where we not only help injured birds, but also swap their eggs with fake eggs to help slow down population growth (which sounds barbaric at first, but considering pigeons lay up to 9 clutches, each containing 2 eggs, PER YEAR, it's sadly the only form of population control that doesn't involve killing birds) and we also help educate on pigeons, such as their literal urge to lay so many eggs, even when starving, since humans have bred them to do so. Or how pigeons can't just be relocated, since they are loyal to where they live and always try to return. OR how they don't actually transmit diseases (unless you basically eat their poop directly)... at least not unto humans or other mammals, but instead onto other pigeons. There is so much misinformation on pigeons out there. Calling them rats of the sky when we humans are the ones who made them into what they were once they lost their use for us is just... unwarranted and unfair. Pigeons do not enjoy eating fries and human vomit. They are super clean animals, so they don't enjoy being covered in dirt. They are really intelligent and don't deserve to be chased or kicked around. Even to those humans who don't like them regardless, please t least don't abuse our local city chickens. They are nothing more than former pets who have to survive on the streets, like street cats or street dogs would.

Fun fact. The pigeon pattern recognition is so good that during WW2 US experimented with pigeon guided anti ship bombs. The pigeons would be put into a box and trained to peck at ship silhouettes. The placement of the pecks onto the screen membrane would then be translated by the bomb into guidance adjustments. This worked very well in testing but in the end US didn't adopt it.

Pigeon fancier right here! Do you know that some pigeons breeds are known for specific acrobatics styles? Some dive and corkscrew like they have been shot in 1 wing and will spin so fast that they make figure skaters look lame. Some dive like a pencil closed wing for thousands of feet (15K+ feet) and only open their wings to pull out of terminal velocity at about 100 feet and they sound like a rocket ship passing with the roat of their wings? Some so forward flips over and over, some do back flips over and over, some do back flip roll to reverse then invert flip forward roll to forward direction on repeat over and over! They are pretty amazing acrobats. These breeds are not as good at homing as racing pigeons though.

It's caused by selective breeding for the desired traits; but most have been caused by accident? Just something that the a some birds started doing? The birds are definitely not balance or impaired in any way, in fact most of the birds that are the best at performing are usually have heightened balance and eye sight because when they perform their "stunts" they also need to look out for predatory peregrine falcons. My pigeons would often do tricks in front of the falcon sometimes? Any bird that i owned that showed signs of genetic restriction or abnormalities never would be allowed to breed, I wouldn't allow it? The donnick breeds in particular have been known to have some birds so intense with their tricks that they don't pull out and may crash into trees; however this is because these birds haven't learnt to counter spin to prevent giddiness. I never had this problem with my birds because they were OCD and would do the exact number of spins 1 direction as they do the other 👍 I'm also an environmental scientist and know lots about genetics and breeding of animals. I can assure you that you've been misled if someone has told you this?
@jameshatton4405
@jameshatton4405 20 дней назад
I misspellined the breed name donnick when it is meant to be Donek Here is an example of them performing, although I've seen thia breed do much tighter corkscrews? The birds i used to have would maintain more synchronicity (they would all dive together) and kept a much tighter pattern so as to avoid unintended collisions? There is also some benefit to individual bird performance when there is a smaller flock; they become more daring and wild so the performance is dialled up to 11....... Because they have all got more room between each other. Their movements are more fluid as they aren't trying to avoid each other as much? The result becomes more expressive performance (as if to compensate for having less birds needs to be more wow?) less jolty counter movements due to avoidance means a much more focused performance on their trick rather than crashing. It's more fluid and they feel more "on show" so there is more competitive behaviour to "out spin" each other. So in this clip keep in mind the guy is running a much bigger flock so it looks very chaotic and messy. Note: there is 1 bird that did a tighter spin than the rest, that would be medium grade in my flock i had growing up 😉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PtLYixC_Eo4.html Try arguing that these pigeons aren't doing it for fun?

I like the thing the coast guard has where they trained pigeons to peck at safety orange then put them in a little glass dome on rescue planes to search for lifeboats.

Definitely the best closing song since Koalas in the Rain.

Well done! I learned a great deal, and never expected that pigeons knew so much! We have no pigeons in our city, or don't in the widely strewn out city that once was much larger, contracted losing all it's factories and then people living in apartments, that became low cost rentals for the rich property owners who bought up thousands of units, hoping one day for a comeback! What they rent today for $400, they will try to rent for thousands! We used to be the tool capital of the world, making all kinds of tools for tools, until we didn't any more.

This was amazing. Born and raised in NYC, I have always felt a soft spot for pigeons, many older dudes on rooftops in the Bronx have used these amazing creatures from selling product, as an alarm/communication system to emotional care and friendship. Man, so many stories on those rooftops with the pigeon.

Lyrics: "you don't puke in my mouth no more you don't drag its tail on the floor I think this pigeon love is gone I think this pigeon love is over Pigeon love, we're getting shit on from above Pigeon love, we're getting shit on from above you don't puke in my mouth no more you don't drag its tail on the floor I think this pigeon love is gone I think this pigeon love is over Pigeon love, we're getting shit on from above Pigeon love, we're getting shit on from above" (this is how i'm showing my support for a full length song)

This one is particularly hilarious. Just tickles my nerdy and hippie funnybones. Thank you so much for the guffaws! Also, I really love the "Pigeon Love" song. It needs its own video! I actually went searching to see if there was one, but no... 😢

pigeons really are the nicest birds i've encountered. and pretty smart too. one learned who i was and that i'd share my lunch with it. in turn i got to watch a pigeon for an hour and be far more relaxed. wonder where that bird is right now *knocking sounds at the window*
