[actualbird]

Hearing that there are people who've never seen pigeons before took me tf out because I thought they were just. Common everywhere????? And then you say you rarely see them but Singapore has a bunch and. Is Singapore just where all the pigeons went figfyif istg the only bird I see more than pigeons here are mynas. Anyway yes pigeons are ridiculously lazy here there's this one area where I stay where pigeons congregate for literally no reason and they will not move unless someone literally walks into the group it's ridiculous. On the bright side it makes birdwatching pigeons easy. There are a few cool doves around and one or two neat little patterned pigeons.

heyyo, milkyway!! and kjbJKJKJGKSD ALL THE PIGEONS IN THE PHILIPPINES WENT TO SINGAPORE!!!!

tbh i dont know why there arent too many pigeons here, ur right, theyre very common Everywhere. the most common bird you'll see here is the eurasian tree sparrow, the bird in my profile picture! i love them so much, theyre so tiny and annoying and i love to see them wiggle in the dirt for a dust bath. im lucky tho that there are nearby forested areas and bc of that i get to see common colorful birds as well. in our garden, we often have olive backed sunbirds visiting!!!! always in pairs, too!! theyre married <3

i am so glad pigeons are lazy in different places of the world. i assumed they were lazy in singapore just because they looked Very Well Fed, A Little Bit Too Well Fed TBH, but maybe it's a personality thing in pigeons. after all, in the urban ecosystem, nothing is eating them so they dont need to feel fear. theres no danger. birdwatching pigeons would be so frigging easy but omfg, what r u gonna watch them DO?? theyre just gonna

stand there LMAO

DOVES R PRETTY!!! and yessss cool pigeon patterns are also cool, i like to think thats like, the shiny variant ala pokemon. rare sighting.

the hardest bird ive ever birdwatched was a pair of migrating peregrine falcons. a pair (or more) would always migrate to the forest on my college campus yearly. theyd nest in the cellphone signal tower and when u got near that tower, the grass would be littered with the bones of the prey theyve eaten. super hard to birdwatch cuz like, peregrine falcons?

theyre the animal that can achieve the fastest speed in the entire animal kingdom

their hunting style is to fly up real high and then DIVE, catching smaller birds completely unaware

and they can reach up to 200+ miles per hour

TRYNA SEE THAT THRU BINOCULARS IS HARD AS HELL, but it's glorious to watch without the binoculars. just this comet of an animal piercing through the sky

man.....I RLLY MISS BIRDWATCHING.....
