Reading “the big empty” terumob fic on ao3 in which teru befriends a bunch of pigeons. [Y’know, those birds we domesticated, and then one day we decided we didn’t love them anymore so they were left to fend for themselves with no survival skills…]
yeah that tracks

My trip to Mexico was pigeon and pelican galore! 🇲🇽 The pigeons and locations they were photographed :
Cabo San Lucas
Mazatlán
Puerto Vallarta
Such a model, this one 💕
I saw some really beautiful pigeons later on, one being a brown colouration and the other being speckled with white. Unfortunately I was unable to take a picture because my phone had died then :(
Here are some honorable mentions btw:
Herring Gull California Brown Pelicans
This bird right here is a beautiful female Magnificent Frigate!
Love birds ❤🐦🐦

Are you racing pigeons for a while without winning constantly? It's disappointing to enter in race after race without a victory. Or maybe you desire to raise pigeons for profit. It's fun to keep pigeons, but it's more fun to raise winning pigeons. In this article are three secrets to keep pigeons that win races. 1) Health is imperative. When buying pigeons, purchase only very healthy birds. Avoid to even look at other things. Then make certain to provide a clean, secure loft. It should be expending dry with good venting and plenty of sun light. It should also be vermin proof to keep out rats and mice. Three quarters of winning excellent health. 2) Cull seriously. When culling your loft, keep in mind, pigeons can be broken down into 2 groups: Good pigeons and bad birds. Color, looks and price have nothing to do with it. Good pigeons are the ones that win competitions and they aren't always the best looking. In the event that a breeding pigeon isn't producing winners, cull it. Forget how much you paid for it or how "special" it is. A few good pigeons is preferable to a loft filled with bad ones. 3) Allow races determine which birds to keep and the ones to cull. It is a amazing pigeon fancier who can tell a winner by looking at its form or into its eyes. "The eye of the tiger" won't exist in pigeons. Provide young birds time to develop, but do not keep losers in your loft. Winners grow winners. In the event that you want to keep homing pigeons that win races, keep raising pigeons that win races. If you're serious about breeding great pigeons, get advice from winners. Sure, it's fun to discuss to your mates at the pub after having a race, but study from experts. Presently there are some excellent pigeon ebooks that will assist you turn your loft around if you take their advice.
I had been staring at this pigeon on my balcony for ten minutes trying to determine whether pigeons are dumb or secretly the wisest animals on our planet.
Then it turned its head 180°, looked me straight in the eyes, and wispered (wispered!) in the most clearest Australian accent I've ever heard, "Zoo wee mama." At that moment I knew.
Literal translation of the caption: "Yoko came to see her mom, and I came to see the temple. That's it."
I’m 99% sure these are all mine. The one percent is the NASA photo (I’ve been there but I can’t remember if I took it.)
I did the blackout poem and the drawings. The sheet ghost is me as a kid. The pigeons are from when I was in Vegas. That was great. I don’t see pigeons very often. They’re one of my favorite animals. Also my hand is there with my fall out boy bracelet.
@youreyesaremyfavoritecolor tagged me, so shoutout to them <3 (you’re awesome and this made me actually do something today)
no need to feel afraid, ben is keeping an eye on you 💕🐦

These little gremlins won't stop having kids! Look at that tiny little nest!
Also, update on the littlest one, I don't know what to name them!
Fluffy little guy
Fuckin pigeons warbling their bastard drunken coo-coo-coo right in my ear at 5am on Sunday in every goddamn season no matter what fucking continent I'm in. Gotta rank them right beside seagulls, slugs and 13 year old boys as my absolute least favourite creatures on God's Admittedly Kind Of Ok Earth.
Phew. This one took, uh… a bit longer than expected due to other projects both irl and art-wise, but it’s finally here. The long-awaited domestic animal infographic! Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough space to cover every single domestic animal (I’m so sorry, reindeer and koi, my beloveds) but I tried to include as many of the “major ones” as possible.
I made this chart in response to a lot of the misunderstandings I hear concerning domestic animals, so I hope it’s helpful!
Further information I didn’t have any room to add or expand on:
🐈 “Breed” and “species” are not synonyms! Breeds are specific to domesticated animals. A Bengal Tiger is a species of tiger. A Siamese is a breed of domestic cat.
🐀 Different colors are also not what makes a breed. A breed is determined by having genetics that are unique to that breed. So a “bluenose pitbull” is not a different breed from a “rednose pitbull”, but an American Pitbull Terrier is a different breed from an American Bully! Animals that have been domesticated for longer tend to have more seperate breeds as these differing genetics have had time to develop.
🐕 It takes hundreds of generations for an animal to become domesticated. While the “domesticated fox experiment” had interesting results, there were not enough generations involved for the foxes to become truly domesticated and their differences from wild foxes were more due to epigenetics (heritable traits that do not change the DNA sequence but rather activate or deactivate parts of it; owed to the specific circumstances of its parents’ behavior and environment.)
🐎 Wild animals that are raised in human care are not domesticated, but they can be considered “tamed.” This means that they still have all their wild instincts, but are less inclined to attack or be frightened of humans. A wild animal that lives in the wild but near human settlements and is less afraid of humans is considered “habituated.” Tamed and habituated animals are not any less dangerous than wild animals, and should still be treated with the same respect. Foxes, otters, raccoons, servals, caracals, bush babies, opossums, owls, monkeys, alligators, and other wild animals can be tamed or habituated, but they have not undergone hundreds of generations of domestication, so they are not domesticated animals.
🐄 Also, as seen above, these animals have all been domesticated for a reason, be it food, transport, pest control, or otherwise, at a time when less practical options existed. There is no benefit to domesticating other species in the modern day, so if you’ve got a hankering for keeping a wild animal as a pet, instead try to find the domestic equivalent of that wild animal! There are several dog breeds that look and behave like wolves or foxes, pigeons and chickens can make great pet birds and have hundreds of colorful fancy breeds, rats can be just as intelligent and social as a small monkey (and less expensive and dangerous to boot,) and ferrets are pretty darn close to minks and otters! There’s no need to keep a wolf in a house when our ancestors have already spent 20,000+ years to make them house-compatible.
🐖 This was stated in the infographic, but I feel like I must again reiterate that domestic animals do not belong in the wild, and often become invasive when feral. Their genetics have been specifically altered in such a way that they depend on humans for optimal health. We are their habitat. This is why you only really see feral pigeons in cities, and feral cats around settlements. They are specifically adapted to live with humans, so they stay even when unwanted. However, this does not mean they should live in a way that doesn’t put their health and comfort as a top priority! If we are their world, it is our duty to make it as good as possible. Please research any pet you get before bringing them home!
