My (mildly interesting) pigeon story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39689815 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39689815
I think they are amazing, and as you say they were once integral to our lives, now just a pest.
- Loughla 2y agoThat's a fun story. We raised roller pigeons after a pair showed up at our farm. They obviously escaped from somewhere, as they were red and tame. Until we knew what they were, we assumed there was something wrong with them, as they couldn't fly without doing loops and flips. That's what they're bred to do. And they're delicious, as a side note. . .
