    Theres a dead pigeon out the back where i work. I usually hate pigeons and think they are rats with wings. Put this pigeon has a buddy. His little buddy pigeon has not moved from his side in about 4-5 days. Everytime i go out for a smoke there he is beside his pal. I find this really sad :( but i dont want to throw the pigeon in the bin. What should i do. I have been throwing him crumbs so he doesnt starve

    It probably hasn't moved cos it's eating him.

    Or you know, handy supply of maggots or whatever.

    I wouldn't worry about the starving bit, seeing as he's like, eh, dead and all.

    Buy a couple of ballons and inflate them...attach the dead pigeon to them and watch him float off with his buddy and out of your life.

    Put it in a lil box and perform a Eulogy to give his friend closure.

    pidgeons have an awful bad rep, even though they are lovely friendly birds. And they are only as diseased as the next bird.

    His friend isnt dead. I think its the mother or something because the ALIVE one is all fluffly and that.

    Don't look at me. I am forbidden from killing my own kind.

    So, you're feeding it. You're its mother now. Congrats.

    Quite a clever pigeon, that.

    Dragging his dead pal around for the ole sympathy vote, not to mention some free feed!

    The saddest video ever! :D

    Usually i would think along the same lines. But the fact it has not moved makes me think its mourning him and has struck a cord in my heart. Im probably completely wrong and he is eating his friend as Silverfish said. But i just cant bring myself to drop a bowling ball on the cnut.

    Yes, but right now the next bird is dead and probably crawling with maggots and bacteria.

    Did you know that 32 Pigeons were awarded a gallantry medal in WW2?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickin_Medal

    Maybe he was killed by Nazi crows?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 229 ✭✭0O7


    place the pigeon in the bin.... so they can start the greiving process...

    Try telling that to Tyson on a NY rooftop. I don't find em so bad. In fact i like em, I think bats may be closer to that. had this pal from cumbria who used to say that all the time. surname Fairbrother yet he was terrible hard on em pidgeons.. but like most animals are noxious when they congregate - they're broody birds that make a nice coo and don't bolt like most birds. but I wouldn't encourage em either

    My heart sank reading about his friend.i'm sorry I came in here.pigeons do mate for life,and it's possible while he wont feel what we'll feel he may not know what to do. He definitely isn't eating him,don't know how anybody got that idea. There's nothing you can do op,except if you're going to feed him,get him peanuts or seed instead of presumably bread

    He's not dead. He's sleeping...

    Yep. Just crack open a bag, then sit back & much while waiting for the other sky rat to kick it.

    Yeah popcorn is fine,just without butter or salt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭AG2R


    put the other pigeon out of its misery too.
    Got a cat?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,353 ✭✭✭bonzodog2


    And if you give him popcorn, keep him well away from the microwave. So messy !

    why does everyone think that pigeons are diseased? Unless you're going to be making sweet love to it then the big bad pigeon won't hurt you.
