My bf was watching the news before he left for work this morning at the ass crack of dawn. I have searched all over the net for this story but I couldnt find it, but I kid you not, this really happens. Pigeons from Long Island get on the train and travel to manhattan... no joke. Somehow they have figured out that by getting on the train it takes them to another location, and that you can ride the train back to Long Island as well. They had a video camera on the train and taped the pigeons walking on... standing by the door, and getting off at the 3rd street station. Scientists believe that a pigeon accidentially flew onto the train, and realized it was better to walk off when the doors opened, rather than banging into the window. At the same time, the pigeons figured out that they can travel while at the same time conserving flying energy. I don't know about anyone else... but that is the craziest most fucked up story I have ever heard. Can anyone attest to seeing these commuting pigeons? Did anyone else see this on channel 4 news this morning?
