Ah yes the BIRD or "Biological Intelligence Reconnaissance Device" is one of the most powerful tools in any spy tool kit

So, you're basically telling me that birds *are* real and they (the birds) *are* spying on us?!

Great video!

My dad and uncle had homing pigeons when I was a kid growing up in Ohio. We'd take 2 or 3 to West Virginia when we went to see my grandparents. Dad would turn them loose as we were saying our goodbyes to come back home. Took us 4 hours to drive it, but they'd be home when we got there. It was pretty kool. There have been lots of people that have sold the same birds several times, because the people who bought them turned them loose after a month or so. They always return to where they were hatched.

I recently saw a video analyzing the probable vocalizations of dinosaurs, and the studies showed that dinosaurs preferred using the low-energy infrasound waves that birds today still use. I think it is amazing that this ability to hear infrasound has lasted so many millions of years in birds (the dinosaur's descendants).

Remember folks, bird watching goes both ways

Real Science is close to one million subscribers folks. This YouTube channel has done so well since it's inception in early October 2019. I still remember their first video "The Truth About GMOs".

Not everyone likes pigeons. Some people hate them. Some people even torture them, e.g., by pulling out their feathers and tails or cutting off their toes and etc., etc. Me and my wife have been feeding corn seeds to some 50 wild pigeons 3 times a day for 6 years. Yes, breakfast, lunch and dinner. They naturally fight among themselves a lot. But they do love us and we love them . We feed them and treat them as much as we can when they come and tell us that they are not well. They can understand some short words. Some of them even speak to us by moving they tiny beaks. They are lovely creatures who love and largely depend on human beings. If you don't like them, that's fine. But don't hate them and hurt them for nothing. They surely will suffer a lot. May your god bless you.

This by far THE BEST pigeon film I’ve ever seen. 🙏

I feel glad whenever pigeons are being appreciated and not being called "rats with wings" or worse, "not real."

I have a deep appreciation of the common pigeon, or "lovey dovey" as my wife and I call them here in Cagayan de Oro City Mindanao. I have watched the behavior of a particular mated pair here (one of them being albino) and how they cared for their offspring. Wherever they may roam, they always return to the area close to our house. The albino dove used to sit on an aerial at the rear of our house, before finding a mate. I think it had lost its previous mate. However, it found another mate and there have been a number of new generations over the five years I have been here.

*_"Derpiness?"_* 🤭😄

When someone says you're smart as a pigeon, take it as a compliment 😎

For some reason this topic really grabbed my interest. Excited to watch!

My family moved house and this one typical dark coloured pigeon decided it's their home too, they always come back for food or hang around the front yard, they love walking around the place like a little security guy (until a stray cat decided to jumpscare him of course), now he's got 2 more friends over and they're all brown-white colours, so pretty. So we've got 3 pigeons who would walk into the house until they get their food now🤣 they're cute ngl, though I can't really get close or pet them

These poor creatures have been through a lot. It's not easy to hear about some of the things we've done to them. I hope we come to treat them better in the future.
