Passerby Becomes a Lifeguard for Pigeon


Sunday, July 17, 2005; Page C02

C&O CANAL NW , July 1. A man saw a pigeon that appeared to be drowning in the canal, then stripped down to his underwear and jumped into the water to save it. The pigeon, which appeared uninjured, was taken to the D.C. shelter for observation.

To kill without getting attention, poison might be the best way. Just place some on the roof, so that other animals don't eat it.

kill them if they are causing damage/distress to your property. and it sounds like they are, so go ahead and kill away. pidgeons are crap factories -_-.

After much googling, I have concluded that it is not illegal to shoot pigeons in California, provided that you are not releasing them from a cage (a "pigeon shoot") and also provided that they do not have a collar on their leg (meaning they are someone's homing pigeon).

I say bust out the pellet gun and have some fun.

They do that here in Ft. Worth for the grackle (sp?) birds. It's funny to watch them shoot up in the air, all the birds scatter, then land right where they were...

Phoenix86,

You in downtown Fort Worth? Grackles are all over the place here. My friends and I call the mess they leave behind "grackle juice" :)

Meh, killing sky rats isn't cruel. It's a public service. Those filthy creatures are all over the place. Not like they're an endangered species or anything.

I think I'll use that for when I kill people and see if that gets me out too. =0)

Equating people to pigeons is really whacked.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with you? :confused:


I don't know, some people are worse than pigeons. I've never had a pigeon enter my garage and rob my house.

I wouldn't kill a pigeon that isn't bothering me, but that guy would definitely be a corpse.

That's why you have to shoot the birds. They'll still land right where they were, but they'll be dead.
