I Saw a Fat Pigeon Today

and I'm pretty sure I could've caught it. The thing was just standing there pecking. I stared him straight in the eyes and knew at that moment I could run him down like the rat he is. The pigeon had some real nerve staring this ball of man down.

Good show pigeon, good show.

He had an important message for you wrapped around his little ankle.

Your mad

I read this thread because I thought he said "fought it" not "caught it", but this is still entertaining nonetheless.

You let it get away ? That's pretty embarrassing Strike.

Fat animals rule!

Fat animals unintimidated by humans rule!

My cat used to rule...

On a related note, I saw a pigeon get killed in mid air by a crow. I was just walking home. Then the crow got off the corpse and flew to a nearby tree and just stared at me. I ran.

Yet on another related note, all of the squirrels around where I live seem to be extremely stupid.

They run across the street fine, but then they wait until you're almost up to them and suddenly dart towards the front of your car, causing you to brake very hard and often, almost get in a crash.

This has happened to me like 5 times already and I am seriously considering just not braking for squirrels now

Squirrels are pretty evil I say, remember that pack of black squirrels attacking and killing a dog ? Should be somewhere in the news of the weird thread.

Pigeons (most birds infact) make me uncomfortable....truth be told, pigeons not only make me uncomfortable, those reddish eyes of theirs and their habit to go 'grooo-grooo' all the time scares me a bit

The way I like birds is roasted, with sauce.

This thread is hilarious.

I was outstared by a huge wild pig once. Well, I was in the woods hiking and came round a corner & there it was - unscared, fast & armed.
I stopped & started walking backwards after some scary moments. The piggie did nothing, just stared....
