Tell me how we managed to treat an entire species the same way we treat washed up military vets and barely anyone sees a problem with it?
😂😂😂😂 4:44 reminds me of Joburg, SA! I almost bought a street kebab but my homie told me that they're mostly rat meat 😂😂😂
Titles garbage..you mean evolving is humanity’s fault??weird
To be fair, hippos are essentially living tanks made of 101% , pure buff. Dudes literally are covered in muscle and I can understand why Steve would be afraid of them.
geez bro.. tf is wrong with your ppl ?? you are amazing!
When I move out i’m gonna get a pidgeon as a pet beacuse i love them sm🥺
i dont know who is he
I’m not gonna lie I do find myself stereotyping pigeons as dirty and derpy. Part of that is because of their looks. Like if they are brown and doesn’t have red/orange eyes maybe i’ll like em better? Thanks for teaching me about pigeons though. I will learn to respect them
👍👍🏾
I hope you and Moistcr1tikal can collab, both of you have unique way of describing anything eloquently.
I did not need the video at the end! ❤Those sounds were so adorable!
09:05 my city Sarajevo😄
(NY of the Balkans)
They have no problem reproducing even with 3 twigs. I love them.
I was scared of pigeons just cuz i was almost headshotted by one twice when i was a kid
At least he was right about 1 thing. Homelessness does bring property values down
Gotta respect the game
Pidgeons are like flying rats, there is nothing wrong with a rat until it becomes a mean to spread diseases, which happen nearly always unfortunately
Yeah, I knew almost none of this but the French named one and how he did his job despite being physically wrecked
Bro, why is the Kururu built like dat
Even though you gave the ad warning, it still caught me off guard. By the way one ad was about travel cruise and another about magic eraser.
Pigeons would probably be as pretty as doves if we didn't throw them out with the squirrels, we made something beautiful into a flying rat with disease.. you think its ugly but we're responsible for it, which is why its ugly.
Doing a good job man. I've been watching your videos for a while now, and always good fun and informative to watch. Keep it up.
Reasons I love pigeons:
1. They are adorable. The way they look at you, their sweet temperaments, the noise they make, the way they’re so pudgy, the way they waddle and scrat along with their claws, the way they preen themselves and each other, the way they’re so loving to their partners, and the way they fluff themselves up. Aww.
2. The way they’re so gentle and sweet. When they eat out of your hand, they’re so gentle.
3. The noise they make when they fly.
4. The happy times I’ve spent feeding them.
5. They make such loving, friendly, sweet and affectionate pets.
6. The way they look at you when you’ve got food.
7. They can scrat along so fast!
8. They save on food waste in the streets.
9. They are domesticated. We tamed and domesticated them. For thousands of years, we used for carrying messages, their meat and as pets. Then, when we didn’t want them anymore, we just kicked them to the curb. 😔 😞 😢 🥺 🥹
10. Unlike seagulls, they don’t steal food and aren’t aggressive.
that pigeon at the first second was so bizarre
As someone with ornithophobia (the fear of birds) I feel seen. I love animals but I can’t stand birds.
Even if you hate pigeons, please don’t hurt them. Even if you are scared of them, there’s no need to. They’re still a living, sentient creature. Please, just avoid them if you’re scared. Or just shop them away without hurting or killing them…
link where you bought that shirt!
I'd like to add- if you see a pigeon on public transit, ESPECIALLY in NYC? Odds are pretty good they know what they're doing. They're smart enough to actually know when their stop is.
That makes sense to repurpose pigeons to help find lost people both at sea and on land, i wanna see a "pigeon cop"
Lesser known fact about pigeons, they are incredibly affectionate. I once found a 5 days old one in the street and picked it up to care for it, as soon as it could fly it decided to do the cuddles with me and no barrier could stop it.
Mind blown
Pigeon soup good for the girls my boii🍆
Murmuration is actually geniues. When they fly together they look like one animal. example the reason why wild lions don't attack visitors is because everyone is on a vehicle and to the loin it looks like one big animal. If a person were to clime of the vehicle. The lion would attack because the person aka animal in its eyes is killable. Murmuration is exactly the same.
About the pouter, it's less a pug and more like the giga had of pigeons, they were literally breed to be as sexy as possible to other pigeons
1:04 I actually got an ad 😂
Is quite a coincidence you make a pigeon video The same week I saw what I asume were TWO pigeons entering into a Pao de Açucar (A Walt art like store we have here in Brasil). And I say “Assume” because this happens two different days and I saw them one each day, And they were SO SIMILAR they could’ve been the SAME PIGEON, specially figuring their intelligence level is so high and we’re we found them (the first one on the first day stayed at the entrance, while the second one AT THE END OF THE WEEK managed to get into the store UP to the LICOR AILE.
Needless to say I don’t drink anymore 😂
Look at those dead eyes…… Due to their superior eye sight, every time you see a pigeon, the pigeon has already seen you …..(°v°)
