I was listening to an interview on the radio of this guy who just wrote a book about pigeons. Holy shit, pigeons are mother fucking cool!
And now for cool things about Pigeons:
1- They were domesticated at the same time as the dog.
2- You can place a pigeon anywhere in the world and it will find its way home.
3- They can sense the magnetic pulls of the Earth with magnetic sensors in their corneas and craniums.
4- They are the "rock doves"
5- They mate for life, and give affectionate kisses with their beaks, which is where "Lovey-dovey" comes from.
6- Sent messages up and down the Nile in Ancient Egypt.
7- Poop 25 times their weight every year.
8- Saved the "Lost Battalion" in World War I.
