Pigeons that is!!...while driving today i hit 2 of the poor things,so a semi serious question to you all is there a proper reason why they seem more thicker than Essex birds....they dont seem as aware as other things flying about.

I saw one so fat in town it coudln't fly. I've never laughed so hard in my life

pigeon murderer

Pigeons navigate using tiny little magnets in their brain, mobile phone signals horribly interfere with this, confusing the fuck out of them. That's why you don't see so many pigeons around built up areas any more.

I didn't feed it! There little more than rats with wings anyway. The ones in town aren't even scared of people anymore

I have hit two pigeons in my car. You could say that I am "on a hattrick".

I have also hit a gull, run over a badger, and a fox too. The badger broke my exhaust.

My mate was dropping me off in town the other day, we went in a carpark and there was a pigeon in the road and she refused to move her car until the pigeon had moved! She was there beeping her horn and waving her arms out the window to try and save the pigeon, eventually it moved so we parked in a space, a car comes round the corner and runs over the pigeon she had been trying to save for 10 minutes!  :)

Did you have your mobile on?

A pigeon flew into the side of my car the other day. There were 3 of us in it all with mobiles and all on different networks.

Am I bad, Ben?

Yep.

This lot couldn't stop a pigeon.  The vulture squadron

I did, as did my friend! So we both contributed to that poor pigeon's death?  :(

Nah not really. I just made up that Mobile Phone Pigeon thing. I wanted to start my own Urban Myth, but I've decided I don't have the patience to let people believe it.

The magnet bits true isn't it?

I think that pigeons have evolved to think cars are friendly and unless they see one of there mates get splattered they will never know that cars are their enemies...

On the other hand i must say pheasants are even more stupider than pigeons. i must of ran over at least 50 odd out in the sticks! they get out your way then panic and run back into the road  :shock:

 How homing pigeons manage to home is still a bit of a mystery....we've  a similar instinct though.  It comes in useful when you find yourself in some featureless place like West Swindon after a night on the lash, and have to walk home in the morning.  You invaraiably do so.

I was always taught that at secondary school science level. There's the possibility that it's a bit of a simplification. It was pretty much the inspiration for my pretend knowledge.

excellent comparison i must say  :)

Its the same with Bee's. Where have they all gone? Last summer I didn't see one. Wasps yes, bee's no.

There's actually a proper bee killing disease going down isn't there? Although I thought it was only in America?

See Ben you weren't far off with your mobile phone theory.

 :shock:

Baggy Trousers.

Dirty shirts, pulling hair and eating dirt.

have you ever seen a baby pigeon

I think they're called "eggs"   DRS

For a perfect one it'd have to be one with the left wheel, one with the right wheel, and one with the badge on the bonnet.

If the badger broke your exhaust, you were within your rights to run over it.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Very good  :D

and then they're called squabs.
