The World’s Most Beautiful Types Of Pigeons

The pigeons that we see in cities are just the tip of the feathered iceberg but there are lots of beautiful and unusual pigeon species that many of us haven’t ever heard of.

Pigeons become more interesting when you start learning more about them. Some scientists argue that the common city pigeon, the rock pigeon, might have been the very first bird that humans have ever domesticated. They’re featured as figurines, in mosaics, and on coins from ancient Mesopotamia since at least 4500 BC.

Some of us may have thought more than once that pigeons might be dumb sometimes, but that’s not the case. In 2017, some researchers published a study that proved that pigeons understand the concepts of space and time, just like humans and primates. Also, pigeons are expert navigators. They can find their way back to their nests from 1.3k miles (nearly 2.1k km) away. And the coolest part is that they’re able to do this even if they’ve been taken from their nests and moved in complete isolation and rotated so they don’t know which direction they’re moving in.

23 Y.O. Daughter Who Lives At Her Dad’s House Rent-Free “Exposes” Him On Social Media For Excluding Her From Family Vacation By Not Buying Her A Plane Ticket

Each parent has a different parenting style. With each parenting style comes a different way of showing a misbehaving child their wrongdoing, along with a different way of correcting such wrongdoings.

This father had a very terrible daughter. In his post in the Am I The A-Hole subreddit, he began by describing his daughter as someone who had a bad attitude and barely made it through high school. This is in contrast with her younger sister, who was the cream of the crop. To reward the younger, he thought of taking her on a fully-paid vacation. When the older heard of it, she wanted to come but agreed that she would pay her expenses. Come the day of the trip, the older hadn’t paid for her trip yet because she assumed that her father would vouch for her. Follow the full story below!
