Stop feedin’ the Boids !

from Stories from all over the World · host Radu Brylynskei

Send us a text What do you do when you are in New York City? Well, you either look at the rats that run the city subways and streets or you feed the pigeons which are all over. — Did you know there’s up to 8 million pigeons in New York City? Do you know why there’s so many pigeons in the city but you never see them in villages or in forest? They were used as mail carriers longer ago. You would tie a tiny message on their feet and they would deliver it trained, highly intelligent creatures, but when the real post office was opened, and people started carrying the mail, they were all released in the wild and for some reason, the pigeons Relayed humans to feed them and survive so they stuck around.
