Blog Title: What's with the pigeons ??
Blog Post:
Let's start off with what are pigeons? Most know that pigeons are indeed birds. They live anywhere, but you can most commonly see them living in big cities, where there is much food. Pigeons eat almost anything; from worms to french fries! Pigeons are very intelligent, and most of the time know what to eat and what not too; unless of course its stuck in a wrapper. On the left you can see an image of me feeding the pigeons!
Secondly, what do pigeons feed their young, and what are pigeons main enemy? Well, Pigeons are very good parents! They exceed in feeding their young, because they don't exactly take french fries or worms to their young. Instead, the pigeons feed their young milk! Yes, you heard me right. Milk! Pigeons can produce milk to feed their young. Don't believe me? Search it up! Now, I know all you lovely followers are interested in pigeons enemies; they have many in the big city, but their main enemy is one of their fellow birds. This bird is a bird of prey, and we call it the Peregrine Falcon. These birds are the fastest birds to ever live, reaching amazing speeds of 390 km/h as an adult. These fast birds are always after pigeons. How do the pigeons fend off these birds? Well, by flying of course! The Peregrine Falcon can only fly that fast when diving, fly wise, they tire easily. The pigeons can outfly it if they have enough energy. On the right, you can see an image of me holding a Peregrine Falcon!
Thirdly, how do pigeons know were home is? Now, this article is mainly on wild pigeons, but what about homing pigeons? Homing pigeons use this special skill called Homing Instinct. They use this special skill to find their way back home when they are lost. Lets say you are a pigeon out in the world, getting a letter from one person to the next. When you reach your destination, how on earth are you supposed to get back home? Well, you use your homing instinct, of course! As a pigeon, you are very smart, so you know what to do! Pigeons are very fascinating. On the left you will see me with some homing pigeons!
Well, thats all for now everyone! Thank you for reading, and I really appreciate all the support! As always, stay curious!
