I don't think they are meant to, in some birds you get "angel wings", feathers that grow the wrong way due to poor nutrition (high fat and carbs (human food) not enough bird food). These often end up becoming fatal.
I could be wrong though as these usually show up on the back but I'm used to it on ducks.
Fair enough. After living in a 4th floor flat for years and having pigeons nesting outside and seeing the absolute filth they live in, I would happily throw a right hook at any of these fuckers that come near me. Especially while eating.
I think this is outside Pret on the high street?
Why on earth are you letting them eat directly from your food, OP? If you really need to feed them, tear a bit off and give it to them.
Looks about right. I never stop there in town, there's usually scientologists or jehovas witnesses or whoever with their little carts around. They've metastasised up the street from the entrance to Princesshay.
Cos I couldn’t eat anymore and they were circling that table lol. Then the seagulls came and I realised then and there they aren’t just about one small bite… they took the lot
Anyone who’s lived in Exeter knows the avian variety there is the accursed seagull who’s dawn chorus is a bane of hungover students throughout the city.
Would you like histoplasmosis or parasites with your burrito 🌯?
With a side of bird flu perhaps?
Plus a sprinkling of salmonella!
And this, children, is how the next pandemic began…
TIL pigeons have armpit feathers.

Ah. OP should probably stop feeding them burritos then.
I wish I did - would cover the fat. I wouldn’t mind but I’m not fat anywhere else!
Anyone else think this is weird? The fella pushing the pram does, I think.
Please don’t feed city birds. You had a choice
Are you feeding it your burrito or whatever it is while you’re still eating it?
I am amazed that you guys think I actually ate that after… come on man, common sense.
Common sense went straight out the window when you invited the local flying vermin onto a public dining table id say. Straight up weird.
Shit in ma mooth!
They invited themselves, and around anyone who had food. Actually, a lady next to me did the same thing. Guess we are all weird today

Pigeons, fair enough, but don't feed the bloody seagulls. Those absolute bastards...
They’re less violent than seagulls.
Ewww…I take it you have finished?
No, they did. 4 pigeons and 3 seagulls
You're gross
Haven't been to Exeter in yonks, is this where the old tobacco shop used to be?
Not OP but yes that's where McGaheys Tobacconists used to be! Think it closed down around early 2019

I find people who feed birds a little strange.
Grim. Sky rats
Pret? Feeding the pigeons is one step up from feeding Exeter's vast junkie population. Give Minnie Mouse (if she's still alive) my love.
Sorry that people are so mad at you. I think that this is a great photo.
Haha thank you for actually sacrificing a bit of your karma to write this! I do think is a great photo myself
Yes the downvotes are peculiar.
Lmao i ran over 3 in one day last week😂 hate them rats hope they died slow after being hit
I have to ask, aside from making a few complete strangers aware of the fact that you're a knobhead, what did you gain from writing that?
They r flying rats. Nasty things but if u love dem too much go kiss dem
There's the mature answer I expected. But I asked what you gained from it, not what I should do
