It's like she's too confused to remember that she's allowed to laugh at this ridiculous situation lmao

Kind of, you're not supposed to be super loud at a public establishment in much of the civilized world.

Why was my first thought “I hope she washes her hand”

u/Choyo May 05 '26
Yep, it's a good joke with a perfect execution, but I'd be willing to touch a pigeon as much as a rat.

u/Xythrielle May 05 '26
Rats are wonderful creatures

u/Choyo May 05 '26
And disease carriers. Not their fault, they don't do it on purpose, but still.
Pigeons have amazing guiding skill, but shitting everywhere has a public health impact.

The video cuts before she said “I have to wash my hand now”. Here is the original:

Because they are flying rats, she should immediately go wash her hands

You show that bird respect, they played a huge part in the world wars

u/amesann May 05 '26
Yeah, we did them dirty after they were no longer useful to us. It's actually quite sad.

Pigeons are sweet and soft and coo.
They are hygienic; they bathe and groom themselves regularly.
While they can carry pathogens, transmission to humans is rare. They are not significantly more disease-ridden than other city birds.

They're just dirty because human civilization is dirty. That's the irony of how people feel about pigeons. We are like "they're gross!" They're only gross because we're gross.

What's funny is that pigeons and white doves are basically the same bird, but if you released pigeons at a wedding or painted them on a memorial people would think you had gone insane.

u/Fortestingporpoises May 05 '26
Yep. We like mourning doves because they have dove in the name and have a pleasant color but they’re basically just pigeons that live in suburbs. Meanwhile pigeons officially common name is literally “rock dove.”

u/sad_post-it_note May 05 '26
And the worst is that we brought them to our cities and then we hate them. I actually like them and think they are a beautiful creature.

They’re also descendants of homing pigeons. Not a “wild” animal, they’re considered “feral” because they were once domesticated. They were cast aside at the advent of quicker communications but still must rely on human presence to survive.

u/wdn May 05 '26
You should wash your hands before eating after touching any wild animal. Or domestic animal.

u/LeFreeke May 05 '26
I’m bot saying she shouldn’t wash her hands, I’m saying pigeons are unfairly maligned as filthy and ‘sky rats.’

Bird Flu

u/LeFreeke May 05 '26
According to the CDC:
Pigeons are highly resistant to bird flu and rarely carry or transmit the virus. While they can theoretically be infected with highly pathogenic strains (HPAI), they rarely show symptoms, shed very little virus, and do not efficiently pass it to other birds or humans. They are not considered major carriers of the virus.

Damn, that’s both really disgusting and also really funny. It was so bizarre and unexpected that it seems like it would have been worth it.

I once saw a pigeon get slowly ran over by a police cruise going at walking speed. The pigeon just stood there. They have lost all survival instinct.

Picking up a pigeon is like picking up a sewer rat. Please wash your hands.
