all the hate we give to pigeons should be redirected at seagulls. i live in a seaside town and those fuckers act like they escaped from hell and want to make their problems everyone elses. it's like bees and wasps. pigeons are the bees, useful, cute, passive. and seagulls are wasps, full of absolute hatred and violence and do basically nothing good for humanity or the environment.
in the dvd commentary for Finding Nemo, the director said the entire reason they were depicted like they were in the film is because he hates them with a passion. and goes on a little rant about how horrible they are. lol
I live in southern Maryland pretty close to the Potomac but very far from the actual ocean but there are places very close to me that have flocks of them just in parking lots
If you sit near the warf (pier) in San Francisco, there's a fountain where people sit to eat lunch. I've seen seagulls stalk and snatch up pigeons and proceed to eat them violently. Watching tourists freak out when they do this is never not entertaining. For some reason people think seagulls are nice, if not slightly annoying. They are in fact demons with wings :)
I love seagulls, but I agree, pigeons did nothing wrong and are nonconfrontational while seagulls opened a war on our sanity and food in many parts of the world
I feel like flying rat is accurate in a sense that both are surprisingly op and were spread by humans. (And now both have been kept as pets.) Also modern evidence implies that the plague is spread by human clothe flea rather than rat flea. This is based on partial the fact it spread more among common folk of the cities than the elite. (“The great plague” episode 3 [2020])
Pidgeons are probably one of, if not the oldest domesticated birds, so people keeping them isn't exactly 'new'(though ig people would've had them for meat and eggs at first)
Bread is also actually bad for birds too, learned this randomly from different comments on a video with someone feeding ducks in it. Bread grows inside there stomach when eaten which negatively impacts them, so anything that's not bread products would be better to feed the birds
here in the uk, most pidgeons you see in the cities are not well. They eat scraps, what they can hoard away from seagulls, like them missing legs, feet, toes, their toes curled into fists, etc - i see so many which look literally diseased as well like its unreal. I do feel for them
I adore birds, especially pigeons. They are so smart and such social creatures, not to mention they are so adorably round. I love them almost as much as crows, but there are no crows where I live. I fed and played with the pigeons and doves at my school so much that I could feed them from my hand, I got the nickname Mama Pigeon.
Makes me even happier about saving the pigeon that flew into a closed window on our house, i put it into a box with some soft paper towels a bowl of water and some bird food so it could recover withut being attacked by local cats, the next day i opened the box and it came out. I often see the same pigeon coming back to visit when i go into the garden.
I think we did pigeons dirty by dubbing them "sky rats". Also, the creators of No Man's Sky just pulled the greatest redemption arc in gaming history, you should check out the trailer for the new update.
can attest about the catfish. the biodiversity of the river po(the greatest river in italy) took a major hit since some idiots released enormous catfishes as a joke(for reference, we call them "torpedo fish"). some sections of the river are so devoid of worthy food that this fish resorted to hunting pigeons in shallow waters
there are many pigeons with amputated claws in cities the way they usually lose them is getting them tangled up in human hair which keeps tightening and restricting bloodflow until the limb dies and falls off
he didnt even talk about passenger pigeons.whichwere a different species but their flockswere so huge it took days for them to pass, or so the stories go. they were wiped out, and many were canned and shipped east as cheap food
Little late to the party. First of all, great reaction as always! I actually really liked the "The Murmuring" episode from the Del Toro series. It just had a certain vibe to it that was really nicely done. Some episodes didn't really hit the spot, though. Especially that drug party one, I think it was episode 7. The most disappointing one was Dreams in the Witch House (as a Lovecraft fan), especially since there is a pretty good 2005 adaption from Masters of Horror.
You know how we in Brazil call that street kebab he ate in NY? "Churrasco de Gato"... Meaning literally "Cat Kebab". If there is cat in it, that is a mystery that depends of where you buy them.
in Mexico we have something similar with tacos de suadero we call them "tacos de suaperro" suaperro being a word play with "perro" dog and "suadero" a mixture of various parts of a cow the rule usually goes the cheaper the order the higher the chances that the meat may be dogs
The only pigeon I don't like is the rockdove. There was a flock that gathered around I used to take and they often bullied each other, other birds, and would get into your space if they wanted something. You would be able to see the biggest bully by looking for the one fat one because the others were skinny or injured and it would run at any that were too close to something it wanted. I'm sure it had to do with that particular group, but I didn't enjoy seeing the other birds with only one leg.
Feed them something better than bread though, please! Occasionally that would be fine, but they're not supposed to eat it and they generally get so much of it from people that it messes them up. Birds in general (ducks come to mind), not just pigeons. Grains, seeds, nuts, fruit (and for ducks frozen peas too) are better if they need feeding at all. If the birds are supposed to eat mostly insects or meat... then I don't know :D.
I see both extreme every day, I see some legit dirty pigeons in the bigger part of my town, but where my house is, I only see some of the most clean and elegant pigeons. ( I did some research on them a while back and they actually are White Winged Doves or something)
In my country we used to eat pigeons, to the point one of our post popular dishes got named after them. Now most people don't do that but only because it isn't worth the effort.
I actually think calling Pigeons "rat with wings" is praise for them; just try to remember how op Rats is, even if half of it is based on nothing myth, Rats are quite cool/scary, you just need to understand them and how to behave around them and they won't be that dangerous.
9:09 as somebody from New York as soon as he started that story, I knew it was bogus because there would be so many violations as dirty as New York can be. That’s too far like you’d get arrested for doing that, but I know he caught a lot of people with that story if they don’t understand New York.😂😂
Ngl Last of Us would be far scarier than it already can be if you told me the fricking cauliflower Pigeon would a flying clicker... F*ck the universe that has that
Though I don't have beef with pigeons (other than being Misinformed by being lied to), I low key felt sorry for them. We hoomans definitely went too far in this one So, I salute them avians. *o7*
@@cryingsurrogate They’ll _eat_ bread fine, which is why people feed it to them so much.

Instead of bread, give your local pigeons sunflower seeds. They will be your best friend for life

Ohh you don't know about the Wels Catfish. Those are river monsters. They're big enough to pull people in.
Not all of them. It takes awhile for them to get there, like any large animal. That being said they grow faster than other large freshwater fish so 🤷
Thats rare, but dogs are fair game

i always thought seagulls were the rats with wings, i oddly really liked pigeons quite pretty and adorbly chubby
5 minutes after starting this video a drunk wood pigeon crash landed at my work and we had to call a wildlife rehab to grab the bastard.
If you want some pidgeon cuteness, then I recommend Jana, a channel dedicated to her adorable pet pidgeon named Cricket.

i think flying mouse is more accurate.
Nice bass

So, I salute them avians. *o7*
i will respect pigeons way more now thanks
delectable
The firstiest of the first
First the worst Second the best
The pigeons you saw probably werent missing a leg, but Just staying on one. Some birds do that. Thats why Hoohot does that in Pokémon hehe
Don't knock em till you try em. Pigeons ain't half bad. I mean as food I'm talking about eating pigeons.
I mean, i love pigeons but they are birds, and birds can be very tasty
Don't feed them bread.
Well now imma feed em double
@@Dawsinderu Peas, specifically frozen ones, are better for them. Birds reportedly haven’t evolved to consume processed goods.
