I love pigeons so he’d be living the dream if I was around. I have so many pictures of pigeons saved on my phone

This was the silly little fella I met on Friday:

How about these beauties

Absolutely stunning 😍



Or this white pigeon

These are all gorgeous! Are they domestic or feral? They don’t fit the most common pigeon coloration I see in feral pigeons in the US, but I definitely have seen some feral pigeons with extremely unique coloration and it’s always so cool. (Though every single pigeon, no matter how “common,” is beautiful in my eyes. Unironically, they are one of my favorite birds.) Also, you might be from the UK or something, and I don’t know much about the state of pigeons there, or if you have any truly wild pigeons vs. feral ones.

All feral. There’s a flock of 30 that are regulars on my street. Most are standard rock pigeons and a few wood pigeons.





Pffft.

If that’s a New York pigeon than its wildest dream is grabbing a slice of pizza away from a rat.

I relate to your pigeon more than the one above



I don’t know who needs to hear this, but pigeons are domesticated and free you can just take them. It’s the same as taking home a stray cat.

Important to not separate bonded pigeons though. They mate for life like humans do.




It’s okay, little pigeon. You’re beautiful in my eyes.


The desire for recognition


Everyone should give Pidgeonometry by Aesop Rock a listen
