Pigeon Kings of Brooklyn | Narratively
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Look up from the busy streets of New York City, and you might glimpse a flock of purebred pigeons swooping in circles around an abandoned tenement building in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Their aerial acrobatics are guided by their keeper, a streetwise Puerto Rican nicknamed 2Tone. On the other end of the borough, a man named Goodwin and his pal Super 13 tend their own pigeon coop and flock of 300 birds. Each man is trying to beat the other, to lure his birds away. It's about bragging rights but it's also about poetry, it's about religion. It's about finding that "true pigeon that will never break your heart," as 2Tone says.

This young man knows what hes speaking about
Ahh... pigeon man,, reminds me of an episode on Hey Arnold about an enigmatic pigeon caretaker
Bro, Hey Arnold is a classic cartoon. I will make sure I show that to my kids whenever I have them.
People don't realize how clever pigeons are and how interesting they are as individuals. My London pigeons do very well on peanuts but I have only a few loyal ones who show up a few times a week. My oldest pigeon is a little hen who has been flying into my garden for about 12 years.

Get laid
PIGEONS DESPERATELY NEED HELP !!
90% of pigeons in cities die in their first year of their lifes. The others don't live longer than 2-3 years.
In nature, they can live up to 12-15 years !
They have nothing to eat, they are forced to eat trash and they freeze to death.
Pigeons can NOT live naturally in cities. They are only here because of breeders !
@@tjp_real How can we help? I like to see them fly but I realize how harsh the conditions are for them in NYC and other urban areas.
@@nyclassic4ever130 feed them. If the conditions pigeons live in were made public, and if people were asked to donate, lots of money could be raised to help them.
beautiful pigeons love from Pakistan
ColorFul Birds & Animals sir I am your subscriber junaid khan from India I love watching your videos love you sir and your team
Do you ship from Pakistan to the US?
Depth brewed rollers. Yeah,there are people who do
Depth brewed rollers. Mostly high flyers though

You couldn't say it any better, pigeons are a love that go so deep within us where it's hard if not impossible for other people to understand it! It's a religion, a way of life our inner peace. I've been into racing homer's since I was a boy and over 35+ years I still love them as I did then. Only one recommendation for this guy, "air quality" is very important. Not only for your birds but for you as well... pigeon lung is real, don't let it take all that you luv!
I love my doves so much. Their so squishy and cuddly.
Lucky! I really want onem but how do you tame wild doves, i see them on a daily bases lurking around my backyard and neighborhood
@@mx7452 BE nice to them and everything you do should be really calm. So they know you can get them food and they know there save around you. Sometimes i take one of my homing pigeons inside. And there really confused where there are and don't know anything around them. So what do they do? They sit on my shoulder because that's what they know and feel save by.
@@mx7452 ITs better to keep the feral ones feral, they are not going to adapt well to a caged live. There is always tame pigeons that cannot really be released needing a home. IF you are in the US look for palomacy, they always have pigeons up for adoption, im sure there are many other orgs.
People have used pigeons for centuries to carry messages. Amazing creatures.
Good to see you guys are still at this neighborhood staple. I grew up a few blocks away from here. From the nineteenth floor, after school, before sunset you could see the different flocks doing reels in the painted skies of Williamsburg. It was so entertaining trying to figure out which one was the lead pigeon. Sometimes the flocks would blend then ultimately separate. Aah! My youthful summers on the Southside. God bless you brothers. Keep em flying!
You are a good person❤️
@@lilreverse6095 thanks, but God is good. We're all trying to be like Him. Hopefully! God bless you and yours.
I'm glad 😊 I found this channel. I always people describing pigeons from a negative perspective, and this video does the exact opposite. Great content keep doing it. 😎👌🏾💯.
I love this video I watched it 25 times and every time I miss the pigeons I watch it and I remember my childhood and being on the roof...
Alan Mazboudi ruclips.net/video/KyiG2xdxa80/видео.html
Same. I'm grinding real hard so one day I can retire on the roof with all the pigeons I want.
@@justinxiao9098 that’s my goal brother work hard now so I can live the dream
If it comes back just know that it will never break your heart 💔
Nice one 👍
Absolutely correct when they said: “it’s hard to describe” I’ve been flying rollers for over 20 years and I don’t think I’ll stop.
Shout out to all my pigeon ppl from “DBR, Depth Brewed Rollers” in southern Cali y’all...
Depth brewed rollers.
Come over to show you the best ever pigeons in the world!
Bruh! At 4:37 the white pigeon looking at sleeping one like wtf 😂💀
White Pigeon: “You ded homie?”
I was looking for this comment. I hope all is well with you after all these years
I am a care-taker of a loft in Belgium where we race pigeons and i just want to say that you can see these people love there birds,and that's the most important thing .
@6:19 AMEN! I JUST READ THAT VERSE THIS MORNING! I HAVE MY FIRST PIGEON. HE CAME IN THROUGH MY ATTIC/WALK IN CLOSET, I LURED HIM WITH FOOD INTO A CAGE AND I'VE BEEN CARING FOR HIM FOR 2 DAYS NOW. IM GOING TO PUT A BAND ON HIS LEG AND RELEASE HIM SOON
I LOVE ALL GOD'S CREATURES! THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL AND SHOULD BE CARED FOR
@@NAJErEa91 I love Pigeons so much. They are sweet, docile, fluffy, smart and playful ❤️
Greatest memories of my life. Me and my Grandfather (immigrants from Italy) up on our families apartment building in Bensonhurst Brooklyn taking care of his pigeon coops and pigeons. Climbing a messed up metal ladder to the tar roof. #NYCLIFESTYLE
It’s like a religion so true.
great video pigeons are my life in massachusetts birmingham rollers and homers
Great video,,, my father Van Hilliard, has just been awarded the 2018 #1 World Cup Qualifie Los Angeles ..... He's in hes seventies , a former prostate cancer survvior, and a good man, a bird lover and breeder since his teens. It would be an honor to recognizes him this late in his life as a guest or even an interview.
You are a amazing person ❤️ i love the pigeon
I thought "Flights" were mostly used for these rooftop games of recruiting deserters from your competitors flocks. He mentioned Polish high flyers. My father kept those and several other breeds. He was especially fond of silver Rollers, Doneks, and of course Indian Fantails, which were very pretty and made good "droppers".
LOVE Doneks!
I want to wish every one a bless day! I'm from east newyork. And I love the pigeons. I don't fly them, but my brother Sol does in east newyork. Much love for my brother Sol!!!!!!
I also love pigeons...mutch love to you and your brother from Watts, California.
my brother also love pigeons and me too and love from Pakistan
A very smart and beautiful bird and I love breeding them it relaxes you and a great stress release
Hi Maritza, I use to go to the pigeons stores in Brooklyn to buy pigeons. Broadway Pet Shop, Jerrys and Carmelos.

People call pigeons stupid, yet manage to get lost in a supermarket... Meanwhile smartass pigeons fly across Europe to go exactly home.
Simon E as smart as a 3 year old
I fell.in love with pigeons when some flew into my life a few months ago and now I'm addicted. Funny thing is, I never thought of myself as a bird person before. Now I can't wait to get up in the mornings and greet them.
Beautiful video, beautiful birds and an even better message. Much love!
Really nice. Wish I can get up to a rooftop loft one day and do an interview.
I favorite pigeon is the Birmingham roller. Use to raise them in the city and the country. Been out of the hobby for awhile now. It’s relaxing.

Woerdo lol good luck bringing that shit and not getting fucked over by the law at one point. Inter state legal transfers into the city are impossible
هذا حق للمصرين
Amazing Video. I started feeding Pigeons in Atlanta start of the pandemic cause everything closed. They are partial to peanuts I add them to wild seed. I use a Bobby Whistle to summon them but get a crowd just by walking out with my dog.
Ah bless you for helping them out. I did the same thing too during the lockdown..are you still doing it?
the most knowledge that i've gained from this....nobody likes cats
But everyone has respect for them. The only species to domesticate itself! :D
No, these pigeon pimps don't like cats. Cause cats eat they hoes.
Actually more people like cats than pigeons, there's a reason they are called flying rats.
And apparently god sent a pigeon instead of a dove 😂😂
Lmao
Mr Brooklyn which pigeon breet is this what called people this pigeon breed I am from India
Those birds look like apna gola nd tumbler not high flyers.
This video is 3 years old, and now recommended in 2018...
And now 2019
And now 2020
this is so freaking cool... seriously... im in awe
I live in NYC, I'm a vet in recovery if anyone has or knows where I could go to interact with birds please let me know! I'm from the county and use to being around animals but where I live I can't have pets.
binary zero I live in the city also (SF) just Start feeding city birds and Getting into it. Make bird friends
Being from Serbia and a pigeon breeder as well, I have to say these pigeon breeders are not so well educated. In Serbia you don't keep 40 different breeds together in one coup. They need to be separated, simple as that. But it is nice to see this, because pigeon breeding in Serbia went to far. I don't feel there is love for the birds anymore it is all about making money and results. Old Serbian High-flyers are basically extinguished and replaced with the new breed which is basically combination of English Tipplers and Serbian High-flyers, all this for the sake of making more money and more results.
What are the new ones like?
In Australia there are serbian highflyers but I assume that those are old.
why not racing pigeon? they looks like a pest
