If the cars would quit slowing down when he pulls into their bow wave, it would probably be a more relaxing flight...

You have to admit, that is a clever pigeon.

 

[Zeldman]

Wow..... even forced one car onto the shoulder of the road.....

The little guy even boxed the wake...

 

[Sac Arrow]

Talk about getting the bird in traffic...

 

[Matthew]

Nice! Just like Smokey and the Bandit.

And this falcon was Sheriff Buford T. Justice:

[Mason]

He seems to be in ground effect at times, but is not signalling lane changes.

He's probably waiting for the next Brexit.

What's the speed of an unladen pigeon?

 

[Shopshirt]

Reminds me of this...

 

[SkyDog58]

I never knew that pigeons flew IFR.

What's the speed of an unladen pigeon?

• Pigeons can fly at altitudes of 6000 feet or more
• Pigeons can fly at average speeds of up to 77.6 mph but have been recorded flying at 92.5 mph
• Pigeons can fly between 600 and 700 miles in a single day, with the longest recorded flight in the 19th century taking 55 days between Africa and England and covering 7000 miles
• Pigeons are thought to navigate by sensing the earth’s magnetic field and using the sun for direction. Other theories include the use of roads and even low frequency seismic waves to find their way home

Eagles and Falcons like Pigeons. They make a good breakfast.

Pigeons. They make a good breakfast.

Sounds like maybe you have experience of eating pigeons for breakfast?

 

[kyleb]

That ain't gonna last for long...

 

[Matthew]

heh...stupid bird.

 

[dans2992]

What is this?

 

[Matthew]

Looks like a grain chute of some sort.

 

[overdrive148]

Correct! Grain processing/bread factory in Russia apparently. It is mesmerizing, I can't stop watching

 

[Norman]

No, but I can say crow tastes awful.

In Soviet Russia, grain eats pigeon.

Thanks, I just got home and realized the one I posted from my phone isn't the complete thing. Truly a thing to behold.

 

[Norman]

A little extra protein in you bread.

I almost always look for original videos in .gifs. Especially funny ones.

 

[dans2992]

Wow. So.... where do they end up?

 

[Matthew]

[kyleb]

In Russia we no have pigeon problem. Grain have much protein too.

 

[nauga]

Wow. So.... where do they end up?

Crunchy bread!
Do you take the bones out?
Of course not, if we did it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?

Nauga,
garnished with lark's vomit

 

[SkyDog58]

After gorging themselves on an unlimited source of grain, the unwitting pigeons were too heavy for their normally capable wings to lift them above the impending danger. First they consumed the grain and then the grain consumed them in an ironic twist of fate.

[MauleSkinner]

When a friend of mine in high school worked the cream corn line, he said birds didn't even come close to the most disgusting thing that ended up in the mix...
