Please discuss funny or bad moments you had with these birds..
 
I used to work in a building that had numerous wood shops along a central hallway that was used for loading and unloading. They had an automatic garage door at the end that had a light sensor about a foot from the ground on the inside.

The pigeons used to roost on the sprinkler pipes etc and one day I was loading some stuff and saw one fly down to the door. Walk up to it, JUMP up in front of the electric eye, stand there waiting until the door opened enough for it to walk under.....

It was freaking hilarious.....

But that wasn't the funniest, the funniest part was when there was one OUTSIDE the door cooing to get in. One on the INSIDE swooped down and opened the door for it, then flew back up to the pipes.....christ I almost pissed myself I was laughing so hard.....

last winter I went to Cape Canaveral and one of them shit on my head.
Pigeons do it by accident. Crows do it by intention. Nasty little bastards.
 
OK honestly, I used to work at Ontario Place, many many moons ago.

Back then I took my lunch break, ate my sandwich, and as I was eating my bread I turned my back and a seagull stole half my sandwich as I was eating!!!

I kid you not!!!! I maybe turned my back to the animal for perhaps one second and that was enough for the creature to fly away with its prize!
I never forgot that crazy bird, and in some ways I kinda respected and liked that little freaky bird !! :D

Why do you think they call them rats with wings? But, yeah, it's hard to fault them. Just trying to make a living like any other working stiff.
 
bar in Madrid served pigeon tapas with my vino tinto.

cute little things, roasted brown 5 of them on a plate. Salty.
 
i remember they sold pigons in kensington market... and they were not sold for pets... the guy would reach in and grab them for the cages and put them in paper bags and then into a plactic one.. but first he would grab them by the head and spin them around once line a new years eve noise maker..then in the bag ... same with another guy would with quails...
 
I used to work on a tobacco farm where the birds would nest in top part of the drying kilns. The owner would retrieve the birds and give them to the Portuguese workers who would take them home and cook them.
