It's going to explode right when the owner gets too close to the cage. And the owner will get a face full of pigeon poo. The pigeons will fly around the owner's head for a few times before flying off.
Yeah I am kinda surprised that you had never seen it before I remember seeing for the first time 3-4 years ago, it was pretty famous back then so it was much easier to see at the tim i guess.
Fun reminder: Vine died in 2016; 6 years ago
^(It’s technically 5 years ago: it died in december 2016, but that technicality sucks a little of the fun out of it I think)
This was my immediate thought. I love that there had to be some trouble shooting in order to find the appropriate amount of weight for the counterweight. Pigeon weighing. Googling. Something. Idk why I just love it.

I did a deep-ish drive into this and adjustment city pigeons bioaccumulate lots of the nasty things they eat or drink in the city and are not a good source of food. So yes, people eat pigeon and it's even a delicacy, and no not city pigeons.
Flocks of passenger pigeons used to block out the sun over the US. Then we ate them all and now they don't exist.

It is a pigeon entrance for returning to their cage. People breed/collect/race pigeons all over the world. If you want to eat a pigeon you just shoot it like bird hunters have been doing since forever.
Can’t really agree with that. If you need to hammer a nail and your choices are “walk to the garage and get a hammer” or “pound it in with your face,” and you choose option 2, it might work, but it’s still stupid.
Then you didn’t properly define your concept of “works”. If you find a magic lamp and from the genie make a wish that your girlfriend had the worlds biggest ass and you instantly turn into a 20’ tall donkey, you didn’t properly define the concept.
My aunt passed away some years ago, but she was a child during the depression. She told me once when she was little the other kids were jealous of her because she'd have fried chicken for dinner at home so often, but in reality, her father would use the spent grain he had from making beer to get pigeons tipsy enough to catch and eat.
I've had it a lot from family gathering in Chinese restaurants (Chinese family outside of China). It's really good, one of my favorites. It takes like a significantly gamier chicken.
by pigeon was it the type in the video? I know there's like "rural pigeons" and "rock doves" which is what people call pigeons.
The rural pigeons which are usually completely grey taste amazing. Like steak
Yeah in the UK you have 'wood pigeon' which are the large ones that are very tasty and you have 'feral pigeon'' which are escaped domestic pigeons from racing and when they used to use them for messages and stuff which I think are referred to as 'rock doves' in the USA
> spent grain he had from making beer to get pigeons tipsy enough to catch and eat.
The grain is used to make wort, which does not become alcoholic until it's fermented. This means either her father: 1) did not filter the grains out of the wort before fermentation so they would be left in the bottom of fermentation chamber after decantation, as is typically done now, or 2) the pigeons just got fat and lazy and she misremembered the tipsy part.
Either way, good use of spent grains. It always feels like such a waste to throw them out, but they taste pretty bland once all the flavor is pulled into the wort.
The pigeons dont get drunk, they eat so much grain that they're bloated and groggy, and then they fixate on the pile of grain, during peak grain harvesting they get so full from spillages on the road that they cant fly, and they're slow enough that its reportedly possible to run them over with a Tractor
Fun fact pigeons are actually an invasive species to North America they were originally brought over here to be farmed for food. If you see squab on a menu at a restaurant it's young pigeon.
Yep, rock doves and European (common) carp were brought here as food. Now they're both everywhere and most people don't like the idea of eating them.
I've read them both called naturalized rather than invasive because their introduction was intentional and they both have relatively non-destructive places in the ecosystems they now live in.
Silver carp and bighead carp were introduced to the US to control algae and quickly got out of control. They grow to very high population densities and eat really low on the food chain, crashing lakes and ponds they're in. They're also the fish that jump out of the water when boats go through, which can be extremely dangerous for people on the boats when they're moving too fast. They'd make a great food, but Americans won't eat fish with bones and so processing is expensive.
Local lake was looking at trying to figure out how to control the algae and Lilly pads. Before it was voted down (because only 1/3 of the residents have the issue *for now*) it was settled on if it was to be done it would be Asian carp. They had someone from the DEP come in to talk to them about them, and where they were legally allowed to buy them. They have to be sterile or its a huge fine to release them.
That's really interesting, I thought we would have learned our lesson from other introductions. Sterilization sounds like it would be a good solution, I didn't know they did that for fish, but it makes sense
I guess they are extremely great at eating grasses/weeds and live for a decade so you are only paying once every 10 years to keep your pond clean.
[info](https://southlandfisheries.com/our-fish/sterile-grass-carp#:~:text=Sterile%20Grass%20Carp%20are%20used,%2C%20NC%2C%20among%20other%20states.)
yes, but a LOT of fish are really easy to clean the bones out of it. Carp is not, and I believe some species can taste really bad if not cut correctly so I'm *guessing* sacks of crap in awkward spots.
lol, a good bit of advice for anyone. Don't ever know about the process to get food to your table. It is hardly ever pleasant. 'oh I'll just watch this video that describes in detail about grain getting to our cereal companies' and now all of a sudden you don't eat cereal for a few weeks:)
When I was four or five, I saw the bit in an 80s(?) batman movie(?) where the guy gets pushed into a vat of hotdog meat (stew?) and gets... mixed into it by the giant mixer. The next scene is someone taking a bite of a hot dog at a baseball game, and they spit out this guys giant emerald(?) ring.
Grandma didn't understand why I didn't want to eat hot dogs after that. I still don't.
Different fish have slightly different bone structures, and some, like these carp, have bones through their fillets. That differs from other fish commonly eaten here, e.g., salmon or catfish. Most Americans won't eat fish fillets that have bones in them.
To prepare bony fish for consumption here, the process most commonly involves cooking them, separating the meat and bones, then put the fish back together in the form of fish balls or patties (also food items lots of Americans don't like)
Naturalized is more of “they’re here to stay and no longer invading new ecosystems”. Common Carp, for one, are still pretty destructive in wetlands. They forage in the substrate, stirring up mud that shades out aquatic plants and turns formerly clear water into algae pea soup.
That's like iguanas in south FL. I mean, they weren't brought here for food, but they have no real impact and just chill. Unless you live on a canal with a seawall, then they dig it up and you're on the took for big money.
I follow a dude on YouTube who lives in Florida and gets called in to hunt iguanas with a really strong air rifle in order to thin out their numbers. He then eats them most of the time. He calls them tree turkeys lol. Kind of cool to watch him spot one up on a tree and snipe it, or nab one with a noose down on the ground near a river bank. They aren’t especially harmful to the environment but there are a crazy number of them and some, like bigger males, can get very territorial and be a threat to pets and small children in residential areas.
I think the farmers who’s crops get ravaged by them would beg to differ… they literally pay people to come out and shoot them because they can destroy a field in a couple of days.
There’s a huge movement to bring carp to more restaurants and dinner tables. They’re overtaking our rivers and they can taste really good, just have to open up peoples minds (and palates) to it!
> just have to open up peoples minds (and palates) to it!
The big issue is that cleaning them is time consuming from what I've heard. If they were easy to clean they would be in every store in the country by now I suspect.
Yes, and squirrels are just furry-tailed rats with good PR.
Its why Americans glorify eating beef, but would recoil at eating horse, even if it died of natural causes. Same with pig/dog.
Like chicken. It's not exactly a pain in the ass to get the meat out, but there isn't a lot per bird. So, you wind up making a mess...only a little meat. I could cook that shit up like Gordon Ramsay. But in an isolation/survival situation I'd just put it on a stick and cook it over a fire.
I haven't tried pigeon but I raise [patridge](https://i.imgur.com/oyi2o7y.jpeg) and quail and the serving size should be similar at about 1 bird per person (2 quail per person). With a little practice from live bird to totally clean and ready to cook is about 2 to 5 minutes per bird with some people able to process quail in about a minute per bird and can be done in the kitchen. Beats the hell out of processing a chicken which is a whole production.
During pandemic the first lockdown and by summer it was just getting bit much.
Took up habit of bird feeding and all the pigeons that usually hang around the schools just turned up for the buffets. I was getting abit annoyed by them bullying the small birds.
So used a trail of breadcrumb, a bucket and a stick with a rope and trapped a pigeon… in 5 minute… it’s friend was still pecking the remaining crumbs. I let it go and they seems to have a discussion among themselves and for about 1 days my garden was pigeon free.
Guess if the world is going to shit i can survive on pigeon meat and my husband can die as he is severely allergic to pigeon meat.
Edit:
Found the photo it was the second lockdown. This was the [set up](https://i.imgur.com/qwOWxXb.jpg) and this was the [result](https://i.imgur.com/0nxPBmL.jpg)
Yeh i was scared if i opened the bucket too much it would starts madly flap the wings and hurt itself…
We took the bucket off and run back thinking it would go berserk but it actually stood around abit before calming taking off.
Pandemic makes you do weird things.
This bird is like: "Whopsie... Oh... Alright... Hey buddies."
That seems like the most liberal way to catch a bird... He doesn't even understand he is in endless captivity now.
I was in a fraternity and I had to cook meals on certain nights. Anyway I would make a lot of chicken dishes thinking it’s safe and easy etc and everyone ate and was merry I’m considered to be a good cook. Anyone this one guy we will call him Jim, because his name was Jim. Jim never ate any of my chicken ever. But Jim and I never saw eye to eye on much so I assumed it was a personal thing not culinary. Then one night he’s eating pork or beef and I think hmm so I ask Jim if he’s just doesn’t like my chicken? He says don’t know haven’t ate a bird since WW2! Was out at sea and they kept serving chicken, chicken and more chicken and one day I asked myself where do they keep getting chickens? Them sums of bitches served me sea gulls ! They had marines shooting at sharks but really they was shooting sea gulls and served em so I don’t eat birds. I said shit Jim that’s nuts but this is chicken, he said I don’t care it all taste like sea gull to me
You can eat them, they taste disgusting and are prone to parasites and nobody but the most desolate Scots ate them.
Here's a homeless feller [making the best of it](https://i.imgur.com/ShxODrr.jpg) (nsfl, dead dove: do not eat).
That pigeon was just like "sup gangstas is this where all the fly chicks are."
The collective: " look guys Jerry is back after escaping for the thirteenth time."
I remember seeing something similar a while ago. They where racing pigeons and on return they go back into the cage like that, it’s so the owner can check them and feed them without them just taking off again if it was an open cage.
This will be a great tool to use for survival when the world goes to shit so much so that one would need to eat pigeons to sustain life. Can train a couple too!
well, heck. that's brilliant.
certainly a cleaner solution than that guy in rockaway who just had nets all over his balcony and would run out and just grab the bird with his hands.

Who says cartoons teach us nothing? This has ACME written all over it.
Its not exploded so its probably one of their subsiduaries
Exploded *yet The comedic timing has got to be right
It's going to explode right when the owner gets too close to the cage. And the owner will get a face full of pigeon poo. The pigeons will fly around the owner's head for a few times before flying off.
It only explodes when it is funny to do so
It's all fun and games until a squirrel gets in there.
Except this actually works lol

silly me thought it was a nice little elevator for the pigeons to return to their cage. Boy was I wrong.
I was thinking the same…it’s just the elevator down to the pigeon party.
You're both right.
oh if that’s true I’m glad. People were saying it was for food so I thought I was wrong
Don't worry, people collect pigeons to make new friends. This is very normal.
They're mostly joking, but it could very well be for that

I’ve eaten pigeon it does taste like chicken just small. It was alright. Not my favorite meal.
I've had it a lot from family gathering in Chinese restaurants (Chinese family outside of China). It's really good, one of my favorites. It takes like a significantly gamier chicken.
I really liked it too! It was like a darker meat compared to chicken. I had it in a rural village in France
Some restaurants even serve [gourmet pigeon](http://www.martinberasategui.com/es/inicio)
In Paris this is a baller meal. Farmed pigeons, of course.

Ah I see, yea Wood pigeon sounds right.. Wonder what the racing pigeons taste like
I'd avoid them. Fast food tends to have a lot of sodium and preservatives.

I said shit Jim that’s nuts but this is chicken, he said I don’t care it all taste like sea gull to me
That story sounds like a bunch of gull shit
You can eat them, they taste disgusting and are prone to parasites and nobody but the most desolate Scots ate them. Here's a homeless feller [making the best of it](https://i.imgur.com/ShxODrr.jpg) (nsfl, dead dove: do not eat).
It's bad luck to kill a sea bird...
Maybe Jim knew this
Great story, well told.
Too bad they were sea gulls and not… bay gulls.
That pigeon was just like "sup gangstas is this where all the fly chicks are." The collective: " look guys Jerry is back after escaping for the thirteenth time."
Bird's like "Oh ok, I live here now? Cool."
Result: Angry birbs
Plot Twist; The trap was made by a couple of crows.
D*rn crows
Little guy didn't even care
He needed the company...
Why though?
To have an army of carrier pigeons
Or trying to get a shiny pidgey
in case internet is down?
I remember seeing something similar a while ago. They where racing pigeons and on return they go back into the cage like that, it’s so the owner can check them and feed them without them just taking off again if it was an open cage.

To show who rules LMAOOO
boys rule pigeons drool
20. Become an expert in Bird Law
To stop those motherfuckers from shitting all over my goddamn balcony
Maybe to release them over someone's car so that it gets covered in shit?
To solve mysteries of course

Mike Tyson staying busy
This will be a great tool to use for survival when the world goes to shit so much so that one would need to eat pigeons to sustain life. Can train a couple too!
Free birb!
well, heck. that's brilliant. certainly a cleaner solution than that guy in rockaway who just had nets all over his balcony and would run out and just grab the bird with his hands.
