pigeons

There is beauty everywhere in nature, even in the places you least expect it. You walk around outside, and every time you do, you see birds - some of them beautiful, some of them less so. But not many of you have probably stopped to admire the beauty of a pigeon. We're used to common pigeons, so we don't think about them too much, but when we see a special pigeon colored like the rainbow... well, that catches our eye. 

And it definitely caught twitter's eye, with a tweet about the pink-necked green pigeon going viral, people admiring its beauty. And luckily, there was a pigeon expert at hand to explain to us exactly what this rainbow-colored beauty is. 

Isn't it strange that a majority of us don't quite know what a baby pigeon looks like? Sure, we've all seen thousands upon thousands of pigeons... but baby pigeons? Personally, we can't say we've ever seen one in real life. However, they must exist! And these photos of baby pigeons are definitely proof of their existence. 

These photos of baby pigeons are nearly identical to how we've pictured the extinct Dodo bird of the past. They are adorable, yes. Yet, somehow extremely odd. We can't really place our finger on it, we'll just call it "strangely cute." 

Pigeons. They're everywhere and unavoidable. However, in some countries, pigeons may not be their main animal sighting. Instead, they have their own versions of "pigeons" with a variety of different animals that are everywhere and unavoidable. 

And though pigeons are actually everywhere and there's no comparison, it's fun to see what other countries have to deal with when it comes to wild animals. 

We've got a strange fascination with pigeons. On one hand, they can be hilarious and their memes are usually even more so. Yet, on the other hand, they are constantly cooing outside your bedroom window at dawn. And sometimes why fly way too close for comfort and it gives us a scare.

However, when weighed against each other, we think the memes win. So, in honor of their ridiculous memes, here is a pigeon dump filled with pigeons doing things. 

When you think of pigeons, the word "beautiful" isn't really an adjective you'd use to describe them... "Strange" is much more understandable. 

However, there are pigeons out there, that are completely out of the ordinary from our everyday pigeons that "coo" us awake at 6 am. 

And dare we say... they're actually quite stunning... Well, some of them are... the others we'll just call "interesting:" You be the judge of which is which, we are definitely fans of these colorful pigeons and wouldn't mind seeing them as much as we do the common pigeon!
