Sick Pigeon

Saw this the other day. Fucking rank, and not at all typical of Richmond.
A couple of pigeons daring each other to tuck into the biggest pile of goose shit I’d ever seen while the rest of us looked on, totally flabbergasted:


Apart from anything else, geese are famous for their stinking shit.
Unbelievable:

“Go on. Get in there my son.” He was going.
And then…:

He fucking did it. Stuck his whole head in and sucked up a load.
Too much.
Check Bill out throwing up in the background. Not surprised. Even I had a slight sweat on.
Turns out they were from Earls Court and were vaguely related to a pigeon that had heard of South Africa, so they’re down for the match on Saturday at Twickenham. That’s to be avoided then.
Richmond is one of those places where we come to to get away from it all, just not on match days. Heard the place is full of pigeons eating shit, and worse. There’s a lot of sick around too. Despite the alcohol content, eating lager sick never feels great.

Clubfoot Colin

Bumped into Clubfoot Colin today.
Utterly wankered at four o’clock in the afternoon:


Not good.
Don’t think he knew his own name, or he didn’t till Mart goes “Oi, Col, mate. Do you know you’ve got a chip stuck to your arse?”
And even then, he didn’t do much.
Tragic.

Even Starbucks Cash In On The Pigeon

Even Starbucks Cash In On The Pigeon

This is an outrage.
Starbucks have decided to exploit the pigeons arse on some new instore Christmas signage.
WTF?:

We don’t even like coffee.
Mental stuff.
This was Gerald after he did some last year:

Fucking nightmare.
The smallest lick of a latte spillage and he was off his nut. For hours.
Some say he still is.

Bring On The Brecons

It’s that time of year again. The nights are getting longer, by a whole fucking hour as of yesterday. How does that work? How come someone can go – ‘Okay, now you have to do that whole hour all over again.’
Wouldn’t matter so much if it was a good hour, but it generally isn’t at midnight on a Saturday in rainy cold October. It certainly wasn’t last night.
If you ask me, it should be the other way round. Give us an extra hour at this time of year when every molly second of potential sunlight accounts for a much needed dose of the old Vit D. Whole thing sucks.
So, it’s off to Wales we go. Don’t ask me why. Heading off down the M4 any minute now for a few days in the mountains.
After a little light persuasion yesterday, Mike and Ken agreed to come too.
This is Mike and Ken, and this was their reaction when I first suggested it.
Not much in the way of enthusiasm:

As you can see, Ken (right) doesn’t get a lot of exercise. One of the reasons I thought a trip to Wales would be a good idea.
Then I mentioned the free seed in Abergavenny, which seemed to stir a little interest in Mike:

“How about it, Ken?”
This finally got a reaction from Ken:

Albeit, “Stick it up your arse.”
This was the point I went into one about the rolling hills and country air. How it’s all about self survival in the wilderness.
Again, not much reaction to be had, truth be told:

Blank expressions all round.
Then, genius, I mentioned the ‘action’ potential. How Welsh pigeons were renowned for getting it on at every given opportunity, with a particular pen-chance for the Urban Grey…
Suddenly, Ken perks up:

“What’s that you say, Bri. Action? Really? No strings?”
Mike seemed a little peeved that the promise of a ride had swung it for Ken, but swung he was. Well and truly. Hardly surprising seeing as the last action Ken got was some pissed up old bird who barely knew her own name.
So, that’s it. Me, Mart, Ken and Mike are off at any moment to go check out the Welsh.
Good times.

Real Pigeon Porn

Found this little gem on the internet the other day, not that I want you to think I spend my days searching for pigeon porn.
It was a one off.
Tell you what though, there’s loads out there. Not much of it’s any good. Really poor performances and no fucking plot whatsoever.
That’s why I liked this one. At least we know what their names are, and they look like they’re enjoying it:

They don’t make them like that anymore, I tell you.
Good work, Bob and Margaret.

Wood Pigeons Have It Large

Wood Pigeons Have It Large

Increase in pigeon friendly internet cafs aside, ever feel like London’s a bit of a struggle?
With all that fresh air and country living, I’m beginning to think that Wood Pigeons have got it large. No wonder they look so smug.
Take this pair from Reigate, for example:

He’s having it large. Jesus.
Or this dude:
He’s having it large, I think…
Moving to the sticks. Food for thought.
Cheers to The Woodster for sending the pics.
Nice one.

Pigeon Held in India on Suspicion of Spying


The pigeon had a ring around its foot and a Pakistani phone number and address stamped on its body in red ink.
“NEW DELHI — Indian police are holding a pigeon under armed guard after it was caught on an alleged spying mission for arch rivals and neighbours Pakistan, media reported on Friday.
The white-coloured bird was found by a local resident in India’s Punjab state, which borders Pakistan, and taken to a police station 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the capital Amritsar.
The pigeon had a ring around its foot and a Pakistani phone number and address stamped on its body in red ink.
Police officer Ramdas Jagjit Singh Chahal told the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency that they suspected the pigeon may have landed on Indian soil from Pakistan with a message, although no trace of a note has been found.
Officials have directed that no-one should be allowed to visit the pigeon, which police say may have been on a “special mission of spying”.
The bird has been medically examined and was being kept in an air-conditioned room under police guard.
Senior officers have asked to be kept updated on the situation three times a day, PTI said.
Chahal said local pigeon fanciers in the sensitive border area had told police that Pakistani pigeons were easily identifiable as they look different from Indian ones, according to the Indian Express newspaper.”
Needless to say I shall be attempting to make contact with the poor fuck at the earliest opportunity.
Suspect the prisons over there are well rank, and I bet he’s not even seen a lawyer.
Cheers for the heads up, Lee-Anne!

Feeling Hot Hot Hot

When the sun is shining in London, and I know I say this every time, but it rocks. It so does. Sweaty feathers aside, there’s nothing better than waking up warm. Truly. Some of you out there experience this most days. In London, we don’t. That said, Mart reckons he’s got a bit of beak burn. Not good. He’d found a spillage of some factor cream or other, but clearly not a 30. Poor fuck. Couldn’t even open it wide enough to chew on a pecan. Bless him.
It was party-on time all round though. Decided to go check out the scene at
Marble Arch. We don’t often hit The Arch due to the fact it’s largely a thoroughfare and therefore attracts all sorts from Edgeware, but we gave it a go today, and it didn’t disappoint.
Began all fairly mellow. Then, as more and more rocked up, the dancing started:

Bill kicked in with “Summer loving, had me a blast”. Know the song from the hit musical, Grease?
There’s Monty second from the right giving it all he had, which wasn’t much.
Then it moved onto some Girls Aloud song I didn’t know:

Neither did Bob or Trevor at the back, seemingly.
There were a few that didn’t join in. Fair play. Not everyone wants to look a twat.
Check out the blue skies though:

Sweet.
I also think this was the moment Chris, second from the right, decided he’d had enough…
Then, and this was genius, Mike goes, “What about Jump? Might as well Jump. Jump!” Remember the old Van Halen classic?
Off he went jumping in the air going, “Jump!”  just as some tourist produces a bread bit:

Totally ignored.
Hilariously, he carried on even though no-one was paying the slightest bit of attention:

“Might as well jump. Jump! Go ahead, jump!”
Everyone got a bit annoyed with him in the end. It’s an irritating song at the best of times.
Anyway, top day had by all. Glad we made the most of the sunshine too seeing as it’s all going to crap again at the end of the week.
Typical.

Orientation

Orientation 
Que savons-nous de nos jours sur l'orientation du pigeon ???

* Le soleil lui sert de point de repère.
Par temps couvert ou brumeux, il se repère plus difficilement, de même lors des perturbations solaires.

* Le nord magnétique : il compare certainement sa position avec celle de son pigeonnier. Lors de perturbations magnétiques importantes, même par beau temps, les pertes sont nettement plus sévères.
Des expériences semblent montrer que si le pigeon est isolé de tout champ magnétique dans une cage de Faraday (pigeonnier en fer), les pertes sont plus nombreuses (concours ou jeunes qui sortent pour la première fois) que dans un pigeonnier en bois.
Des chercheurs américains (deux biologistes de l'Université de New York, un biologiste et un géologue de Princeton) affirment avoir découvert dans les fibres nerveuses de la base du cerveau des pigeons de minuscules granulés allongés semblables à des micro-aimants. L'analyse chimique de ces granulés indique la présence de fer, de nickel, de cuivre, de zinc et de plomb. La complexité de la structure de ces granulés suggère une efficacité supérieure aux magnétomètres.

* Les étoiles et la Lune peut-être ? Certains pigeons rentrent parfois alors que la nuit est tombée.

*(Voir photo) Mdr

* Les points de repère : avec un peu d'entraînement, et à force de voyager, le pigeon repère des points caractéristiques.
Dans l'armée, on se servait de cette faculté pour établir des colombiers mobiles (roulottes). Bien sûr, il faut que la roulotte soit bien caractérisée (forme, couleur et éléments complémentaires) et habituer les pigeons par des déplacements progressifs

What is a Racing Homer Pigeon

What is a Racing Homer Pigeon

A Racing Homer is a breed of pigeon that has been selectively bred for more speed, and enhanced homing instinct for the sport of Pigeon racing. A popular domestic pigeon breed, the Racing Homer is also one of the newest. Contents Development Levi in his book The Pigeon refers to racing pigeons first being developed in Belgium and England during the Nineteenth Century.[1] He further says that they came about from the crossbreeding of a number of other breeds, primarily the Smerle, French Cumulet, English Carrier, Dragoon, and the Horseman (now lost). From the high-flying Cumulet, the Homer received its endurance, the ability to fly for hours on end without tiring. From the Carrier, it inherited the ability to find its way home from great distances.[1] History Pigeons have been used to carry messages for centuries. However, during the Nineteenth Century, the communication value of the bird–especially for carrying messages during war–became appreciated. Breeders competed to develop ever faster birds. Competitions soon developed, with pigeon racing growing into a popular sport throughout Western Europe and, beginning in the early Twentieth Century, in the United States. Large purses were offered for race winners. All participants in World War I made use of the Racing Homer’s ability to carry messages, with the British alone employing approximately 9,500 birds. The Second World War once more saw the major powers make use of the Homing Pigeon. Other uses Apart from the sport of racing against each other, fanciers also exhibit racing pigeons at organised shows and have a judge decide who has the better bird. British Homing World holds a show each year where all profits from the event are donated to both national and local charities, including Help the Aged and the Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus.[2] Over the years, the racing pigeon has led to a number of other breeds, such as the American Show Racer, the Giant Homer (bred for utility meat purposes), among others. In the news In February 2008 a pigeon fancier paid a South African record R800,000 for a racing pigeon at auction. The auction, where he bought several other birds, was held after the Sun City Million Dollar Pigeon Race.[3] A pigeon was in the headlines in 1998 when its owner gave her to a friend in Algeciras, southern Spain, after retiring from breeding racing pigeons. The bird named Boomerang promptly flew the 1,200 miles back home. The bird was given away again but kept returning home. Recently after ten years away the bird returned once again.[4] References 1. ^ a b Levi, Wendell (1977). The Pigeon. Sumter, S.C.: Levi Publishing Co, Inc.

Is Pigeon Racing A Sport, Or Animal Cruelty?

Tom Strato, a 39-year veteran of the New York City Police Department, walked into his backyard pigeon coop on Staten Island, N.Y., and reached for a white racing homer tagged RBC-548.  A relative of the pigeon had brought him second place at a competition last year.  He held it tight to prevent it from flying off, and the bird nuzzled his chest.
He wiped his thumb on the loft’s wall and collected a layer of “pigeon powder,” a white sediment that is released from the birds’ wings and shows they are healthy, he said.  Strato reached down and dragged his hand through a bucket of dried corn pellets, grains, Canadian peas and flax seed — the pricey meal he feeds his 70-plus pigeons every day.

The sport “gives you enormous responsibility,” Strato said.  While some animal activists say pigeon racing is cruel, he credits it with keeping him out of trouble as a teenager in 1950s Brooklyn.  “For a young kid, it’s the greatest thing,” he said, and released the bird into the air.
Like other pigeon racing enthusiasts across the country, Strato has been on the defensive since the animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) began campaigning to prevent the airing of a new reality show featuring pigeons racing, saying the sport is inhumane.  But breeders say such criticism is for the birds – and that racing is a fun sport like any other and can be a valuable educational tool to teach kids such things as responsibility.  Many hope the new show will shed light on the positive aspects of the ancient practice.
Long before pigeon racing became a sport, the birds were a widely used communication tool around the world.  Reuters News Agency, for instance, operated a live telex service using homing pigeons.  They were also extensively used by the European and American military during the World Wars.
The first official pigeon race took place in the United States in the 1880s.  And up until the 1950s, it remained a popular sport, until gradually declining in the face of more modern forms of entertainment.
The sport lives on in races each weekend across the country, with a select but growing group of enthusiasts.  In a typical competition, pigeons compete to be the fastest one to return home from the race start, traveling between 40 to 60 mph, for up to 600 miles.  Most races award a few hundred or thousand dollars, though a top national contest, the Snowbird Classic, will dish out a grand prize of $25,000 for 2010.
Seeking to show the “intensely competitive and bizarrely fascinating world of pigeon racing” and once again bring the tradition into the public eye, Animal Planet will soon begin filming a reality TV show on races in Brooklyn, N.Y.  The show will star none other than boxer Mike Tyson, who is a racer himself.
In response, PETA announced a campaign to prevent the show from airing, saying the sport is cruel to animals because it forces birds to race home to their mates in bad weather and risk being killed by natural predators.  PETA also says the series will encourage a slew of copy-cat racers who are ill-prepared to care for the birds. 
“When pigeons are used in these races, the birds aren’t voluntarily participating in this,” said Lisa Watney, a spokesperson for PETA.  “It’s not a romantic sport — it’s a pastime that costs birds their lives.”
But racers say PETA is wrong, arguing that such misconceptions denigrate a worthy sport.

“There is always an assumption of the negative, like we are doing it just for the money,” said Deone Roberts, sports development manager for the American Racing Pigeon Union, out of Oklahoma City.
Vitamins, food and shelter for the birds can cost thousands of dollars per year, far exceeding most prize money, she said.  So most racers do it for the simple pleasure of breeding and racing the birds.
“The people who do it for a hobby really get off on the birds,” she said.
As proof of its value, Roberts said many schools have incorporated pigeon racing into their educational programs. 
“Kids just relate better to the animal, so it opens up the way for other learning, across the curriculum,” Roberts said.
Such is the philosophy of Ron Shumaker, a seventh-grade teacher in Enterprise, Miss., who uses his birds to teach children in grades four through six.  A racer himself, he received funding from a local power company to introduce racing at six schools in the state.  Students help feed, water and maintain the birds, and not only race them, but also use the animals in classroom activities.
How exactly do the birds help him teach math?
“If the birds were released at 8:15 in the morning, and they arrived at 8:55, then I ask my kids to give me that in yards per minute,” Shumaker said. “Rate is a mathematical formula – it makes no difference how you learn it.”
The same goes for biology.

Shumaker said many of his students have seen hawk attacks when the pigeons are released for exercise or during a race — something he says already happens to wild pigeons and therefore isn’t particularly cruel.
“There’s a great opportunity to teach the food chain,” he said.
And then there’s history.
One lesson involved the tale of a plucky pigeon called Cher Ami.  Ami saved the lives of more than 200 soldiers in the U.S. Army’s 77th Division after it had fallen behind enemy lines and was being accidentally bombed by allied forces in World War I, according to Andrew D. Blechman, the author of “Pigeons: The Fascinating Saga of the World’s Most Revered and Reviled Bird.”  After its death, the bird was stuffed and is displayed at the Smithsonian Institute.
As to the effect the Animal Planet show might have on pigeon racing, many racers are optimistic.
“It will really show how much fanciers love their birds, and it will show the depth of the sport and hobby,” said Chris Ferrante, who runs a pigeon racing Web site out of Brooklyn.  “There is no promotion like a prime-time show.”

Pigeon Racing

Pigeon racing

 for sport has become increasingly popular over the last decades. It could be said that pigeon racing has been experiencing a rebirth of sorts. Pigeon races are sanctioned events that encourage new participants and seasoned pros to get together and release their pigeons for a race against the clock back to home base. These races can be anywhere from a few miles to hundreds of miles. Special pigeon clocks are designed to track the pigeons’ times and determine a winner.
Racing pigeons are specially raised and trained to enter long range races, but even some of the best trained pigeons don’t always make it home at the end of the race. Anywhere from 10% to 20% of racing pigeons are lost, injured, or killed on their way home. The pigeons that are lost are often eventually returned to their owners through the kindness of someone who finds the lost pigeon and rescues it.
The traditional timing methods of the pigeon clock are rapidly being replaced with more humane electronic pigeon racing timers. The traditional method involves a rubber ring that is slipped from the clock, which starts the timing, and then is wrapped around the pigeon’s leg often causing discomfort. However, electronic timing methods mean that not only are the birds more comfortable (especially those who end up lost with no one to remove the ring) but they also alleviate the owner from having to meet the pigeon at the loft for bad removal and replacement of the ring into the clock. Electronic timing offers more accurate timing and more ease for human and pigeon.
Pigeon racing has been banned in the city of Chicago and may be banned elsewhere. There are concerns that pigeon racing advocates may have killed a certain number of birds of prey which has led to concern. Animal rights activists have also taken issue with some training methods and have been fighting to have pigeon racing banned. Many pigeons are taught to fly home with a great sense of need as they are separated from their babies and are only permitted to see them upon returning home from a training flight or a race. Additionally, more losses have been reported with the use of cell phones and the increase in cell phone towers since it is hypothesized that pigeon navigate their way home through the intimate use of the planet’s electromagnetic field and cell phone towers may be interfering with their ability to accurately navigate. If this is true then more birds will be lost as cell phone use is only increasing.
Pigeon racing is extremely popular in Asia and Australia. In these countries pigeon races are bet on with the same vigor that horse racing and other sporting events encourage betting. While the future of pigeon racing might be questionable, there is no question that the popularity of pigeon races is increasing world wide. The increase in popularity has led to new research and theories on creating highly humane training methods to help keep the sport growing and thriving.

LES PIGEONS


LA REPRODUCTION
Les petits des pigeons sont les pigeonneaux. Que se soit dans la nature ou en élevage les pigeons vivent toujours par deux. Dix jours après l'accouplement la femelle pond un oeuf , deux jours plus tard un autre oeuf. Le mâle et la femelle donnent à manger aux pigeonneaux dès qu'il sortent de l'œuf. Les pigeonneaux se nourrissent du lait de jabot. Au bout de six jours les petits mangent de la bouillie et des graines broyées . A quatre semaines les bébés pigeons veulent s'échapper de leur nid
L'accouplement.
LES PIGEONNEAUX
A la naissance, le petit est aveugle et il est juste recouvert d'un duvet. Il faut surtout éviter de les toucher dans la première semaine suivant la naissance pour éviter toute perte. Les parents rejettent dans le bec des jeunes des aliments pedigree dans le jabot des jeunes un lait extrêmement riche contenant vitamines, matières grasses et protéines. Pendant les 10 premiers jours (période de lactation), les pigeonneaux se développent à très vive allure du fait de la richesse du lait. A partir de 10 jours, le pigeonneau commence à s'emplumer ceci jusqu'à 28 jours.
Les pigeonneaux quittent le nid 1 mois après la naissance.
POURQUOI LES PIGEONS DOIVENT-ILS QUITTER LES VILLES ?
Les pigeons envahissent les villes et les villages parce qu'ils font des crottes et ils bouchent les gouttières des toitures. Aussi ils transmettent des maladies, des bactéries qui peuvent provoquer une sorte de pneumonie qui est transportée par l'air des fientes (crotte de pigeons). Les pigeons provoquent aussi des parasites qui peuvent se transmettre à l'homme.
Plusieurs solutions sont expérimentées, pour limiter la population des pigeons qui sont dans les villes :
- Supprimer les oeufs ;
- Éloigner les pigeons vers des pigeonniers installés à la campagne. On ne peut rien faire d'autre. Mais malgré tout cela les pigeons sont des compagnons pour certaine personne qui leur donne de la nourriture. En plus la pollution augmente très vite.
