PIGEON of January 2

Happy New Year everyone. Here to welcome in the new year with us is a newly discovered species of PIGEON. As of yet this PIGEON does not have a name so I shall call it NEW PIGEON. Recently discovered in the tropical rainforest on Mount Foja in Indonesia, little is know about the NEW PIGEON. National Geographic had an article about NEW PIGEON and several other new species found in this area. As seen in the picture the NEW PIGEON has a red belly, blue head, and black speckled wings. Let us hope together that this joyous discovery is not followed by a tragic extinction.

Long live the rainforest.

Long live the PIGEONS!

Courtesy of my good friend the Idiosyncrat I have found further proof of the awesomeness of PIGEONS! Below is a link to an article that explains how PIGEONS are one of the three species on earth, including humans, shown to understand abstract mathematics. GO PIGEONS GO!!!

PIGEON of December 2

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!! I hope everyone had a great holiday season. As I type this post I enjoy a glass of eggnog I made myself from scratch. In celebration of the season I present to you the second PIGEON of December, the CHRISTMAS IMPERIAL PIGEON! Named after its home Christmas Island this PIGEON lives in rain forests and eats mainly fruits as well as buds and leaves. This PIGEON also has a deep booming call unlike many other species. The CHRISTMAS IMPERIAL PIGEON is a very dark bird with tints of green, blue, and purple.

1 Year Anniversary

As of this month I have been blogging about PIGEONS for a full year!!!!! I hope my blog has brought some other people happiness but regardless it has been a great thing for me. This blog has allowed me to fully explore my love of PIGEONS. A lot of things have happened in the last year. I graduated high school and went to college. I went to London. And just this month I met a real fancier, PIGEON racer. I took a lot of pictures but I need to photoshop some of them because the light was bad so look forward to that story in December. It has been a good year; lets try and make this next one even better!
