it is so sad knowing that humankind domesticated pigeons just to abandon them and find them disgusting after how much care we used to give them. like today i learned pigeons were traditionally cliff-dwellers, it used to be a sign of status if u had a fancy birdcoop with a bunch of pigeons, rich ppl would trade pigeons with eachother like pokΓ©mon cards, and also there was a rlly lazy carrier pigeon during one of the wars named old satchelback which is iconic

Our ancient interspecies partners, now orphaned in exile. Have you ever seen a pigeon nest? They need us. We will need them. How are you going to send letters to your best friend when society collapses? Better get a pigeon now and start training. I'm partial to the classic Rock Dove style but look at their range! So many colors, shapes, frills. On the way home from the allergist this morning I saw three pigeons bathing in a dirty puddle. They're just out here scraping by like the rest of us.

pigeons evolved to roost in rocky outcroppings, which makes them perfectly adapted to city life. a domesticated pigeon will freak out if you give em a brick to stand on because it reminds them of home πŸ₯²

Stop pigeon hate! They are so docile and intelligent and gentle and once upon a time they were kept as pets. They’ve done nothing to deserve your ire. I love their sweet little coos.
