    Everything we complain about regarding pigeons are traits humans intentionally bred into them across millenia.

    Pigeons did not invade cities. We abandoned them there, after they helped us coordinate building and connecting them. And we inexplicably treat them like the invaders after abandoning them the second they were no longer deemed useful.

      I can explain. They carry diseases, shit everywhere and I actually need to be careful not to step on them and dodge when they fly near the ground because, they are absolutely not afraid of humans and also stupid af.

      I totally support controlling their population, because they’re nothing but a plague. Apparently swapping their eggs wirh decoys is very effective. Because they are stupid af.
