MM reader John B. recently took a vacation to Hawaii to get away from the pigeony grit that coats our fair neighborhood, but it didn’t exactly work out the way he planned:
we kayaked up the wailua river, went on a short hike to this waterfall and the first thing we saw was this nasty ass, broke down island pigeon. i know pigeons are a big topic on mm, thought i’d warn you of one place you may not want to go if you’re trying to take a vacation from pigeons.
This pigeon seems to be enjoying a fairly envious life, unlike this curious little fellow I found on Mission Street yesterday (after the jump, NotSafeForMoms, but scientists are encouraged)
How did this even happen? It’s not really smushed at all, so I’m skeptical that a vehicle was involved in this. A bicycle perhaps? Wouldn’t that leave a nasty mess in the spokes? Dropped from a falcon above? Scientists, please weigh in on this important matter.
