Common pigeon/Rock dove propaganda:

1) They literally maybe have electromagnetic powers (that's how homing pigeons do their thing)

2) They've been our friends for thousands of years

[ID: the first photo is of two Flock bronzewings, one with red-brown wings, a blue body, and a balck and white head, the other a duller version of the first. they are standing on rocky ground. in the second photo, two Crested pigeons, both pale grey-brown, with purple wing feathers and black and white tail fathers. one is showing off it's tail and wings. they sit on rocks]

I am geninuniely struggling to contain my excitement about all of the pigeons in the world! LOOK AT THEM!!! 😭

do you like the Flock bronzewing? or perhaps the Crested pigeon is more your style?
