Pigeons get a bad rap. They're cool birds and totally harmless.

Australia sucks balls.

That's bullshite. There are pigeons that have been awarded the medal of honor for their service in WW1. What have you accomplished?

Ahh yes, let’s kill a pigeon because it poses a huge threat.

So true story. Wife and I went to Australia a few years ago for a couple weeks. We're touring the Hunter Valley wine region just a bit north of Sydney. Stop at a winery. It's summer, so all outdoors stuff. I grab a small table and some chairs and move them under a tree for some shade. The owner comes out and says "uh, you don't want to sit under that tree. We've had brown snakes in there before and they tend to drop out of the trees at times."

Brown Snakes. As in the one if it bites you, you're dead.

Instead of killing it why don't you - I don't know - send it back?

Well it came from Oregon? What part? Do we know for sure it isn't Portland? If it was, that could be a serious safety risk for the Aussie birds. But to kill a bird, dat shite mad fowl son.

Because of the wolf reintroduction into an area where they once wrecked havoc upon deer? Shame.

Lucky for Joe that he didn’t instead fly to Arkansas.

He’d be pigeonholed there.

There are things worse than death.
