Can pigeons asexually reproduce? Joking, but only kind of. I guess the fear is inter-species breeding?

  No, and in this specific instance there would have been no viable introduction. From the article, I think it's a male bird. But if it happened to be a gravid female then it's possible a population could have gotten started. That's basically what happened millions of years ago with Hawaii's native birds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drepanidini https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drepanidini Also, all native Hawaiian bee species are decended from a single female bee that landed there millions of years ago. Same thing with their native fruit flies. All from one pregnant female.

    Hawaii started as hot lava extruded from the ocean. All life on Hawaii originally came from someplace else.
