Do you have this book, Amer? It’s called the pocket guide to pigeon watching. It’s mainly about feral pigeons, but it has so many neat facts about humans’ relationship with pigeons throughout history!

That is a really cool book!

That’s so cool!! She must be very wise to have survived so long. It’s crazy that she is/was still laying viable eggs at 60-70 years old.

Very wise. She survives what other Albatrosses can’t. I wonder if she will find another mate.

Apparently Riski is now a Snowy Wandering Albatross since the Wandering Albatross was recently split into 4 species. I’m keeping wandering in the name though, since it’s fire.

Romance and cults XD Core pigeon values

Also, it’s interesting how two of the pigeons in the second picture have leg bands, I wonder if they’re banded ferals
