VERY BEAUTIFUL and entirely innocent, even angelic, African Olive Pigeons nevertheless eat farmed edibles such as grapes, mulberries and olives. They just don't 'get' the farmers' perspective on crops, cultivation, and commerce. And of course they take wild fruits as well.

Nobody told me what the egg industry does to male chicks. They cannot lay eggs. So hatcheries kill them on day one. Hundreds of millions a year. Every egg-producing country. Organic, cage-free, free-range — the label makes no difference. 👉 egg-truth.com/male-chicks

Bare-eyed Pigeon (Patagioenas corensis). Bare orbital skin which is papillose (pimpled) helps give the ‘felt tip’ effect. A master survivor of arid habitat, only found at the Caribbean coast of Colombia, Venezuela and on nearby islands like Aruba.

Bird songs share surprising similarities with human music and speech, according to a large-scale study comparing vocalizations across hundreds of bird species and dozens of human languages. The findings in Science suggest that these similarities may arise partly from shared biological mechanisms, rather than vocal learning ability alone. Learn more: scim.ag/4ikVRUr

Borrowed this from the Pigeon Library which is under the railway bridge in the Southwark Bridge Road #London Peggy is an apologetic pigeon. She always assumes she's in the wrong, even when it's her getting bullied. An old seagull shows her the necessary skills to help herself.

About 130 million years ago the first flowering plants emerged, eventually bearing a dazzling array of fruits that would grow alongside the dinosaurs. But researchers have long questioned whether dinosaurs ever made these earliest fruits a main course. Now, a toothless, turkey-size oddity with a parrotlike beak may be the first known dinosaur frugivore. Researchers report a newly discovered dinosaur that lived alongside Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops named Infernogallus jamesi—meaning “hell chicken”—that was fully adapted to a fruit-based diet. The anatomy bears a striking resemblance to modern parrots, the authors say. Learn more: scim.ag/3W7YW2R
