Whoever this kid’s father is… You’ve raised one hell of a good son! It’s wonderful to have people like him in the world. and of course Bingi is adorable
I vividly remember saying to my family when I saw a beautiful pigeon, “Wow! Look at that bird! It’s got like a light rainbow hue to it! What kinda bird is that?” And my siblings were a bit shocked and laughing, telling me it’s just a pigeon, as if that was supposed to make me dismiss it. I love to see how under-appreciated living things grow and behave when given the proper attention and care. Thank you!
I rescued a pigeon years ago. I named him Stormy after a storm knocked him from his nest under Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. I loved him and he loved me back. He lived to be 20 years old. I lost him just a few years ago. They’re such sweet birds. Enjoy your sweet Bingi! ❤
That must have been really hard for you. I lost my last bird mate 20 years ago and I was so heartbroken I decided that i can't go though that again and have never had a feathered friend since but that's me. I hope you find that special bond again if that's what you'd like. 👍
@@nicklisac4667 I lost a Timneh Grey who was wild caught years ago, it nearly killed me. I have a Congo grey I got when the Timneh was alive who has been with me for 32 years. There is a bird out there that needs your love, I know that your bird under stands that and is rooting for you to find a bird child again.
What a beautiful friendship. Animals are pure and honest, and they’re so communicative, we humans like this young man just need to pay attention to understand.
Pigeons have a bad reputation of being dirty pests, and I think that's unfortunate. Pigeons can be just as much of a member of a family as a parrot or a dove can. Thank you for sharing Bingi's story!
I think they’re adorable! I love pigeons and often feed them at my local river. The pigeons have gotten really tame and will land all over me and eat out of my hand!
Had a pigeon when I was young, She was a wonderful pet. Followed us everywhere. If our Mother called for us, she looked in the sky to see her circling over us. She was a wonderful pet.
Love this I love birds but feel sad and guilty at times at keeping them because ideally they really should be free flying not locked in a cage or a house. The fact your girl had a life of freedom but her loyalty and bond with you kept her staying around of her own accord is great. I really want to train my quaker parrot for free flight outside he already has free flight of my apartment is recall trained and his cage is always open but id love to give him more freedom he's just too young at the moment for me to risk it want to wait until he's a year old
@@Shaz-gq7pv pigeons are extremely loyal, I love them soooo much. I’m pretty sure if you keep feeding pigeons and they like you they’ll continue to come back to you lol
I don't doubt this guy is a good kid, from what we can observe in this short video. But it really gets to me when people post these comments on every single video like this. You have literally no idea who this person is apart from the fact they looked after a bird. Bad people can do good things, and good people can do horrible things. Don't attribute the world being in a good shape just because you saw someone do something nice and cute in a video. It's going to take a whole lot more than that to fix this world..
not if this person is a socialist, leftist, woke whackjob then if there was more like him like there are now and growing than this world is in very bad shape. it is now and growing. Nice story and glad for him and the pidgeon but hopefully he is not a woke socialist leftist
Great to see this. I had a disabled pigeon that couldn’t fly. She was my companion for 15 years. They are very special birds. Intelligent and affectionate.
I just love this story! Pigeons can be fantastic pets, they are not just "sky rats". Bingi hit the jackpot of homes; so happy for them both. What a wonderful story to witness.
El término pronunciado por un actor, "ratas del cielo" fue una de las frases más desafortunadas, letales e injustas para una especie, que dio pie a justificar su exterminio y al lucro de las empresas de extinción de plagas en la mayoría de los países, por el contrario las palomas son aves muy bellas, amorosas, que forman parejas únicas, dotadas de gran inteligencia y con un gran sentido de la orientación. Por desgracia la gente las maltrata sin tener ni idea de como son, algo por otra parte muy propio de nuestra especie.
That term, 'sky rats' was invented as a marketing phrase by a pets control company. It was to make people associate pigeons with dirty, disease carrying, pest rats. Before then no one thought of them as so dirty or diseased. They are no more dirty or dangerous than any other kind of bird, but now, thanks to the pest company, that 'rats with wing, or sky rats' has stuck in peoples minds. There are not people getting sick from pigeons or pigeon poop. Its very rare, and usually only pigeon keepers get it if they have dirty pigeon coops and don't clean their hands, or wear a mask with years and years of exposure every day to many birds and their dust.
I have 10 rescued pigeons all with their own personalities. My oldest I rescued when he was two weeks old, he will be 20 in August, I love him to pieces. Bingi adores you. Wishing you both only the best,
Such a wonderful story. I’ve rescued several injured pigeons. Most of the time they were nursed back to health and I’d release them back in the wild. The birds that couldn’t fly, I’d take them to a wildlife sanctuary. A few times I wanted to keep one but I knew the pigeon had to be released. Surprisingly a few showed up every morning in my backyard. I’d give them food and see them the next morning.
I 'm in Montana USA and I have an almost identical story to yours. My pigeon was a female ( yours appears to be also) and she identified me as her mate. She began laying 2 eggs a month ( unfertile of course ) about 6 years ago on top of a cupboard in the house. We have a unique relationship and yes "adore" each other, but love is love and is difficult to quantify. Your precious story is off to a great start - good luck !
Of all the garages in Switzerland that Bingi could have walked into, he walked into your dads' one. He's obviously a homing pigeon who knew where he belonged and where he would be loved 🤔 I'm glad he found his way into your home and heart. ❤️
Pigeon's are wonderful pets..if people would just give them a chance..which most don't. Thank you for helping this pigeon with a forever home. We need more people like you in this world!
I was lucky enough to raise an orphaned pigeon several years ago and he was just the most wonderful companion. He brought me so much joy and could always make me laugh. Pigeons are so often maligned as pests when in actuality they are lovely birds. Glad Bingi's story is being told so others can see what amazing creatures they really are.
True. Also I have found out that people who hate pigeons are usually simply bad people and that they need to be avoided. So when I get to know somebody, I usually sneak in a comment about pigeons to see their reaction. If they act disgusted and start with their violent phantasies towards these sweet birds I know to stay away from that person. Until now I have not been wrong and this has saved me from a lot of unpleasant experiences.
I've been involved in wild avian rescue across the urban landscape in an Australian city for 4 decades. The ''rock pigeons'' are often maligned and called 'flying rats' where those who find them in an adverse situation are sometimes encouraged by others to forgo saving them. If you believe in freedom for birds, the right to fly and to be true to their own species but love feathered friends then a pigeon will offer all that is good about birds. I had a wild orphan. Chip was raised cage free and lived a flying life on the outside. She was bonded to myself and no other although she flew with a small flock on my property. She roosted on a ledge in the carport. She raised another orphan although that bird never bonded to me. The bird was a flock flyer. Chip used to fly above me when I rode my horse, peel off after 0.5kms to return home. When I returned she was always on the horse fence waiting for me. I have also raised hundreds of orphan parrot species to wild release. When you give parrots freedom to fly with their own kind these birds do not stay to keep ''friendship'' with humans. I always say don't own parrots. Have a pigeon and enjoy pure avian love. This is a wonderful video. I am so happy Bingi is loved and adored and happy. Thank you. Cecile...avian conservationist.
We can learn so much from people who love and can communicate "heart to heart" with birds; avian conservationists like you help us understand them too so 👍👏💚
Having a bond with a bird is such a unique, wonderful connection that a lot of people won't ever know. I'm sure you made each other's lives that much more special.
Awww what a wonderful story. I have wild pigeons coming to my door to be fed. I started feeding them a few months ago with some soup mix, the dried lentils and barley and stuff. They love it now they come peeking in my door not when it's open but the screen door looking at me as if to say "Come on where's the seed" I hope to get close to them, maybe I could have one as a pet too. They are survivors only trying to survive and people should realise this, they're opportunistic and victims of circumstance. Don't think of them as pests. Go, the pigeons love to Bingi. Jeremy Downunder
Aww, this is such a sweet story! 😊 It just goes to show that all animals are sentient beings with the capacity to love and be loved. All life matters. Respect.
What an absolutely lovely young man. He's kind, gentle and caring. Bingi really landed on his feet when he found such a wonderful person to share his life with! They are clearly the best of friends - so beautiful to see.
What a lovely story! I love pigeons too, and they seem to like me too, I think they can sense my love for animals and they don't fly away straight away when I approach them. They have a bad reputation but for me they're lovely creatures and deserve more love and respect. A big hug to Bingi ❤
As if you could scare them… even if you wanted to chase them on purpose, they would just take two steps away and look at you with their blank, stupid eyes.
My dad raised and raced homing pigeons and white pigeons he released at weddings and memorials. They are loving, strong, kind, and beloved birds. The memorials are priceless. We released white pigeons at my Dad's celebration of life last year. A beautiful sight to behold and not a dry eye in the service. I think Dad would have loved it, too. ❤
We raised pigeons when I was young. They just found our barn an appealing home and many generations were once raised there. Birds can be very unique, personable, and kind. Especially ones like pigeons and chickens. They have a place in nature, and they aren't just "Rats with wings". Good work on your pigeon!! I hope she lives long.
I remember being shocked to learn that pigeons aren't wild, the pigeons we know are effectively feral and pigeons can make great pets as long as you don't remove them from their pair bond.
I lived in NYC for 2 years and everyone called pigeons “sky rats” I was terrified of them. It’s nice to see all that love and affection given to such a beautiful bird with so much personality 🫶🏼
Isn't it a strange human trait to always dismiss and disrespect those equally social animals that manage to adapt to our species invasive exploitation? Rats, pigeons, gulls, you name it, always the same when they in fact put up with us and take what's left to scavenge to bring to their young.
Because the urban pigeon only eats garbage and the excrement of other animals, its own excrement spreads diseases. A small child with asthma can die if they inhale pigeon droppings
Birds in general are more difficult to keep as pets because they can't be toilet trained. But now that you can use diapers on them it's so much easier. I love that his dad says "Bingi is the centre of the universe". I wish everyone who has a pet felt the same way about them.
Thanks! I wondered how people managed the toilet training. Two babies hatched on my balcony while I was in the hospital for 4mths until September '22. They come by here daily. The babies are not afraid of me, but I am clueless as to how to handle them.
@@LemonThyme1933 To hold them cup your hands and keep the head facing towards you, It feels quite natural when you get used to it, also put a little seed out for them and they will love you forever.
Birds develop good toilet habits with help from people. Introduce them to a perch stand or some specific spot consistently (w/protected newspaper wrapped at the bottom) the first thing after letting them out from their aviary, they will usually do their business and remain to preen. And like people, they often establish patterns of behavior - watch out and protect those destinations (i.e., paper towel runner on top cabinets). If held in place w/masking tape or small weights - a breeze to change as needed & no flying debris. Small packets of tissues/wipes strategically tucked away but in easy reach protect & take care of the "little deposits" quickly and cleanly. When staining foods like blueberries are consumed be ready & ready! It is critical to keep areas sanitary & safe for birds & those that love them!
@@LMTino I've had several large birds in my life and wasn't successful in training any of them to have good toilet habits. Wanting them to have freedom in the house during the day was a bit stressful because you can't always be watching for the "little deposits". It would have been so much easier with the bird diapers that are available nowadays. I know exactly what you mean about the blueberries. My neighbour planted a bunch of blueberry bushes in her backyard. The crows eat all of the berries and then leave their "not so little deposits" all over the patio in my backyard. 😒
Way cool! You are so sweet and generous to give love to a creature that many people refer to in terrible ways. I won't mention the reference. Well done you, Bingi found his BEST life.
I think this is just wonderful and he's a great ambassador for a much maligned bird. They were used during the 2nd WW to carry messages across enemy lines and have been credited along with other animals for their bravery in a statue on Park Lane in London.
Bingi has a beautiful green belly !! He makes for great company. All birds have something to offer given the chance. All animals are deserving of the best treatment we can offer. Be kind to animals, your father made the right decision to take him home w/ him. I'm happy to see Bingi is well treated, fed and has a place to sleep shielded from the bad weather. He is a happy bird now !!!!🐦🐦🐦🌹🌹🌹🌹
What a great story! I love pigeons. They are very sweet birds. I am sad how humans disregard them when they have supported us for thousands of years as food, crop fertilizer, leather tanning, and the first air mail.
Yup! We have a Rescued pigeon called Bubbie and she is awesome! However, she is in love with my hubby and 'protects' him from me so sometimes I have to threaten to bring out our marriage certificate! 😂😍😂😍😂😍
THANK YOU!!! Pigeons have had bad PR. They're incredible birds, even helping humans fight in WW2 (look up Cher Ami y'all). I love them and it always saddnes me that people don't understand and even abuse them. We need to speak up and educate people, and we need more videos like this. Pigeons honestly would make fantastic emotional support animals.
Thank you. I love your perspective on these beautiful smart birdies. I adore them too. It's so sad that people dislike them so much and accuse them of being dirty disease spreading aves. I've helped feral pigeons when sick or injured bringing them into my home and never been concerned that they'd make me ill. The opposite seeing them recover and go back outside fills my heart. Or heartbroken if one didn't survive. They have the sweetest energy. Beautiful birds.
I started feeding pigeons once, usually at around 12 noon. It took them only about 2/3 days to realise when I would come out and put some food out at 12 noon, and they'd be there. How the hell they knew what time it was, I didn't know. Some would even land on my shoulders as I was putting the food out. They don't seem to have much fear of people either. Walking up the highstreet you can literally walk right past them and they don't fly away.
Whoever this kid’s father is… You’ve raised one hell of a good son! It’s wonderful to have people like him in the world. and of course Bingi is adorable

You and Bingi. Perfect together. What a kind and compassionate man you are. Thank you for being that way.
Birds in general are more difficult to keep as pets because they can't be toilet trained. But now that you can use diapers on them it's so much easier.
I love that his dad says "Bingi is the centre of the universe". I wish everyone who has a pet felt the same way about them.
Thanks! I wondered how people managed the toilet training. Two babies hatched on my balcony while I was in the hospital for 4mths until September '22. They come by here daily. The babies are not afraid of me, but I am clueless as to how to handle them.
@@LemonThyme1933 To hold them cup your hands and keep the head facing towards you, It feels quite natural when you get used to it, also put a little seed out for them and they will love you forever.
Birds develop good toilet habits with help from people. Introduce them to a perch stand or some specific spot consistently (w/protected newspaper wrapped at the bottom) the first thing after letting them out from their aviary, they will usually do their business and remain to preen. And like people, they often establish patterns of behavior - watch out and protect those destinations (i.e., paper towel runner on top cabinets). If held in place w/masking tape or small weights - a breeze to change as needed & no flying debris. Small packets of tissues/wipes strategically tucked away but in easy reach protect & take care of the "little deposits" quickly and cleanly. When staining foods like blueberries are consumed be ready & ready! It is critical to keep areas sanitary & safe for birds & those that love them!
@@gibbs677bg Lovely - mimics the security of the nest!
@@LMTino I've had several large birds in my life and wasn't successful in training any of them to have good toilet habits. Wanting them to have freedom in the house during the day was a bit stressful because you can't always be watching for the "little deposits". It would have been so much easier with the bird diapers that are available nowadays.
I know exactly what you mean about the blueberries. My neighbour planted a bunch of blueberry bushes in her backyard. The crows eat all of the berries and then leave their "not so little deposits" all over the patio in my backyard. 😒
So touchingly sweet when he finally gave himself up to the magic words I love Binji so much❤
Way cool! You are so sweet and generous to give love to a creature that many people refer to in terrible ways. I won't mention the reference. Well done you, Bingi found his BEST life.
Cool bird
This is a great story. What a beautiful pigeon Bingi is! That feathered hairdo on the back of his head is everything!
Beautiful in every way. This man and his pigeon have the coolest bond and love. Thank you for sharing their story!!
Bonding with wild animals must be so cool.
I live in Seattle Washington and feed pigeons everyday. They recognize me when I come out. It is nice of you taking care of your pigeon.
I love your pigeon
I Feed pigeons every day they.are .Very intelligent
The story is really heartwarming and i love pigeons but what a wonderful young person! Never change❤
I think this is just wonderful and he's a great ambassador for a much maligned bird. They were used during the 2nd WW to carry messages across enemy lines and have been credited along with other animals for their bravery in a statue on Park Lane in London.
Absolutely adorable! You and Bingi! Thank you for sharing this amazing story. Love is strange sometimes but its love.
Bingi has a beautiful green belly !! He makes for great company. All birds have something to offer given the chance. All animals are deserving of the best treatment we can offer. Be kind to animals, your father made the right decision to take him home w/ him. I'm happy to see Bingi is well treated, fed and has a place to sleep shielded from the bad weather. He is a happy bird now !!!!🐦🐦🐦🌹🌹🌹🌹
That's not his belly. That's his pigeon pants.
What a great story! I love pigeons. They are very sweet birds. I am sad how humans disregard them when they have supported us for thousands of years as food, crop fertilizer, leather tanning, and the first air mail.
Yup! We have a Rescued pigeon called Bubbie and she is awesome! However, she is in love with my hubby and 'protects' him from me so sometimes I have to threaten to bring out our marriage certificate! 😂😍😂😍😂😍
😂
😅
Wow, what a beautiful, gorgeous amazing bird.
THANK YOU!!! Pigeons have had bad PR. They're incredible birds, even helping humans fight in WW2 (look up Cher Ami y'all). I love them and it always saddnes me that people don't understand and even abuse them. We need to speak up and educate people, and we need more videos like this. Pigeons honestly would make fantastic emotional support animals.
What a great son you are to warm the duck for him. ❤
My love to Bingi.
All the way in Switzerland.
Doves and pigeons are just the sweetest!!!
Beautiful video, rare to see someone care about a pigeon this much! Hopefully, the video will change the way people feel about pigeons🐦
Yes absolutely....👍
Thats an awesome story! Bingy looks really majestic! How fateful some encounters are and steer us ways we wouldnt have imagined..
Wonderful story 💙🙏🤍
Thank you so much for loving Bingi and sharing his story!! This makes extremely happy! He really is a wonderful boy!! I LOVE animals so much!
I have a pet pigeon, such a loving bird.
You make a Perfect Pappa to your Precious Pigeon They are so Smart and Beautiful Birds.
His head feathers and his lil coos are so cute...
This is such a wonderful video. Your dad blessed you and now you and Bingi have each other, as another blessing. I love this 💜🙏🏾😍
Thank you. I love your perspective on these beautiful smart birdies. I adore them too. It's so sad that people dislike them so much and accuse them of being dirty disease spreading aves. I've helped feral pigeons when sick or injured bringing them into my home and never been concerned that they'd make me ill. The opposite seeing them recover and go back outside fills my heart. Or heartbroken if one didn't survive. They have the sweetest energy. Beautiful birds.
You have a great pigeon and a very big heart! Be proud!
I'm so glad you found each other! 🐦☁️ ❤
Sweet story. Birds and other animals are quite smart and emotional.
I love the creative and colorful "diapers"
What a wonderful story! Heartwarming, uplifting, joyous. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
The underwater shots were hysterical 🤣
Your respect and love for this animal being is delightful.
What a beautiful baby
Pigeon's have something very special about them!
I started feeding pigeons once, usually at around 12 noon. It took them only about 2/3 days to realise when I would come out and put some food out at 12 noon, and they'd be there. How the hell they knew what time it was, I didn't know. Some would even land on my shoulders as I was putting the food out. They don't seem to have much fear of people either. Walking up the highstreet you can literally walk right past them and they don't fly away.
Birds are extremely smart......
Yes agree 😊
Truth
What a precious personality this pidgeon has!
Highly intelligent. They make wonderful house pets.
I also love pigeons very much. They really know how to communicate with us. You are happy! ❤❤❤
Bingi is a beautiful being ♥️
Beautiful, pigeons were used extensively in the war, braving enemy fire to save many people… I’m glad you found a loving friend ❤️❤️❤️
