Don’t be sad, friend! They know exactly what they’re doing. ^v^
Pigeons have the same cognitive capacity as five year old humans, and have been documented taking advantage of our transportation systems to commute back and forth from foraging grounds farther than they could have easily flown, at a much lower energy cost.
They know the times, which trains go where, where all the best food stops are, and which stop is theirs.
And they tend to be model passengers, taking their seats under the big human seats, and politely filing out at their work and home stops. ^v^
pigeon has responsibilities I’m so proud of them
NYC pigeons intentionally use the subway system all the time. Particularly in the above ground lines in the Bronx and near Coney Island. My favorite is when they’re traveling in pairs and wait near the doors, just going a stop or two. Super cute, and clever!
This was my actual favorite part of working in a theater. People would come in and use a string of words no human had ever uttered and I’d have to be like “ohhhhkay let’s parse this out.”
I love seeing all the positive response to my comic! If you enjoyed this piece, I hope you’ll consider checking out my page to see some of the new material I’m working on!
Im not gonna lie, i cried a little. This comic basically sums up my artistic career: from my mom telling me that i cant make a living off it, to me feeling that i reached my limit. But now more that ever i will try!!
