Pigeons..flying rats..or noble flying rats?

[GePap]

So, what do you make of what seems to be the most visible "other" inhabitants of major American and European cities?

Do you ever feed pigeons? or do you wish some great plague would decimate them? Are pigeons part of the scenery, like in Venice's Sna Marco's plaza? Or is your burg pigeon free?

In Panama City (Panama) there were no pigoens..as for NYC..while they are everywhere, and once I got dumped on (while I was dresses up to go out ona field trip...), I don't care much either way. What annoys me is come mating time the bastards roost near my window, on our air-conditioners.

Pigeons eat trash and insects so pigeons are my friends.

My entire family is completely nuts about pigeons and breeding pigeons and participating in matches with them. Don't tell any of 'em this but I really like pigeons as well... on a dinner plate

Pigeons are flying rats and I'd rather shoot them than feed them. Of course I don't, as it's forbidden, but I would never consider to feed them, though, which is also officially unwanted (and at some places forbidden as well).

pigeons are THE NOBLEST of the flying rat family!

[Boris Godunov]

Flying rats. Exterminate them, mach schnell.

What are pigeons? our co-inhabitants are cats.

This is a pigeon: also called Rock Dove..



They didn't have these in Russia?

[Az]

oh, I am sorry, I didn't convey my irony properly.

we don't have many of those. I know what these are. but there aren't as many as, say, cats. They do **** on my car rather often, though.

Pigeons are stupid stupid animals. They're so spoiled and lazy from leftovers that a couple times walking around campus I have actually kicked one accidentally because the stupid thing was too lazy to move out of the way. IMO, pigeons are worse than rats.

[Sprayber]

We don't have many pigeons but we have plenty of ducks.

[Az]

ducks.

You can eat them too.

( yes I know you can eat pigeons as well, but that would be just disgusting, wouldn't it? brrrr )

[Provost Harrison]

They fulfil a useful purpose, but heaven help one of the little f**kers if it sh*ts on me

[Datajack Franit]

Pigeons are our friends! Be kind to pigeons. Pigeons are good. Just add baked potatoes and roasted tomatoes

That's what I first thought too, but they taste surprisingly nice.. a bit like chicken...
