Its winter they have flown south.
without air traffic controllers?
Birds have a compass built into them. No traffic controllers they fly into windows all the time.
Maybe they should consider flying into Linux instead
*laugh track*
that's because they're drunk on fermented berries
Who knew pigeons have such human problems with drinking and flying.
they are going to florida, or lousiania. i know they stay all year round in more milder climates.
I live in Florida, I have seen many pigeons
can you guys keep them pls & thank
pigeons knows whats about, no food on the floor, because no one is buying anymore. so all went somewhere else.
Amazing how bad many people seem to be at eating.
it's easy to drop some of your falafel sandwich when a bunch of sky rats start flying 6 inches from your fuckin head. not that i know from experience or anything >:(
or get mobbed seagulls.
was in chicago all weekend, saw hella pigeons
update: saw some pigeons
I haven't been leaving my apartment much the past few weeks to be fair
nah mate, they read your comment and made sure to get some over to you
FUCK. NO TAKE THEM BACK
Duh. If there's nobody to change their batteries of course you're not gonna see them.
Man, you'd think the government would upgrade to Li-Ion Batteries with proper Induction Charging Stations, but apparently they don't value population surveillance enough to cough up the budget for that. Typical 🙄
No terrorist attacks, "moon landings," or global pandemics either. Think about it.
The illuminati lizardpeople are furloughed for the duration of the shutdown
Knew it.
Pidgeons. Geese. I haven't seen a raven, or owl, or most song birds.
It's almost like... They aren't real 👀
Or won't be, soon enough.
There's also bird flu, and the U.S. government wasn't really doing a great job of keeping track of that even before the shut down. I guess we'll find out for sure eventually, but it just depends on which happens first. Government reopens, birds migrate north in the spring, or we all start spreading/contacting bird flu, and nobody will tell us why we're suddenly not seeing as many people outside either.
Are you proposing the government drones that we haven't been seeing are spreading weaponized drone flu, or that they have a slowed production until the spring because they are planning something much bigger?
Yes.
Of course. It all makes perfect sense.
Because of the lack of funds, they cant spy. HF, reading news paper did give me some knowledge.
The micro-hydrogen Avifuel Cells™ they run on are super expensive.
There's definitely a spot I walk by that is crawling with pigeons that get fed daily for squab farming.
But I get the joke.
I have seen geese, but they're Canadian geese.
Government drones gone rogue
No I think the Canadian government is taking advantage of the situation. I mean, where do you think Canadian geese are manufactured?
South we fly, motha’ fucker
