Putin supposedly said:
Does this go here?

 :D

 :D

Sure!

HHAHAH Putin is funny !

And Corn you started a Pidgeon site ?

Cool they get a bad wrap :(

I wish. This would have been my crowning achievement!

Funny -- I read your username as "Birdcorn" for a second there. So there's a forum out there to discuss pigeon rights. That's amusing.

From the Founder of Pigeon Talk:

Hello, and welcome to Pigeon-Talk - A place for pigeon lovers.

Here, you will learn about one of nature’s most beautiful and loveable creatures, the wondrous pigeon, and others, like yourself, who have come to this hobby by way of their interest and love for this bird.

There are many bird species in this world. Why do so many people come to prize and enjoy the pigeon? What is it about the pigeon that is so attractive.
Do they talk (like parrots) in our language? No.
Do they perform fancy tricks? No.
Do they perform some sort of work to make our lives easier? No.
Then what is it? It's something that cannot be put into words exactly. It must be experienced.

Living with pigeons in my life makes for a richer experience in my daily living.

Our hope is that you will find this to be true in your life too.

I knew a guy who walked around with cockatiels on his shoulders. Oooo! The stains on his shirts. The pigeons stayed on the floor because they were to big for his shoulders, luckily.

What was really funny, however, was when his girlfriend was walking barefoot around the house.

 :D

Why do pigeons bob their heads?

The pigeon has side-mounted eyes, unlike humans and owls which have forward facing eyes. As pigeons have monocular vision rather than binocular vision they bob their heads for depth of perception. The pigeon’s eyes function much better with stationary images and therefore as the pigeon takes a step forward the head is temporarily left behind. The next step jerks the head forward again and so on. This allows the bird to correctly orient itself.

There was actually a scientific study which put chickens on treadmills. 

When they walked on the treadmills their environment did not move with each step, so they did not bob their heads.

^Not about pigeons. I should have self-moderated this thread. >:(

It's exactly the same principle you were just talking about.  The point is that pigeons on treadmills wouldn't bob their heads either.

OK. I've reconsidered my position. I'll allow it. :)

I like to watch birds - such as pigeons - and notice how much faster their movements are compared to us.

People think pigeons move their heads with jerky stop-and-start motions, but to the bird it's probably just casually turning its head and looking around. 

We live longer, but our lives move much more slowly (compared to a small animal such as a pigeon).  So maybe we have the same length of lifespan, adjusted for speed.

The tortoises live for 200 years on the Galapagos islands (which are the home to 3 species of pigeon).  The tortoise seems much slower than us - and slower than a pigeon - but its slower metabolism lets it live longer.


BTW your avatar is a cardinal, so please try to stay on-topic.

I knew you were going to say that!

You'd make a good moderator. :)

Well if that pigeon is the Pope under which your cardinal serves, then it's allowed.

If you can find a video of a pigeon on a treadmill I'll arrange some kind of reward system. Maybe we can premine PigeonTalkCoin.

I guess we're in the alt-coin business.  :)

I'm already in the altcoin business, and it's more full of shit than a pigeon coop

Is there a pigeontalkcoin yet?

There was, but we relaunched and rebranded it under the name COOP,
with a more aerodynamic logo which will have a broader mass-market appeal in the payments industry.
We're already in talks with a bank in Lichtenstein to adopt the COOP-GO! debit card

Did we get Roger Ver to invest? What's my cut of the instamine? Is there a masternode system we should be aware of? Is it going to be listed on Cryptsy?

I have so many questions!

Masternodes, masternodes, and more masternodes.

The important thing is to spend as much money as you can before launch - unless you just don't like getting rich.
