Walk into crowded room
Make strange noise to announce my presence
Don’t say anything for the rest of the gathering
I feel bad for pigeons, I really do. They had the life, they were human’s allies, they were delivering messages and getting food and shelter in return. But then telegraphs, and the internet, and more advanced postal services. Boom! Pigeons are out of the picture.
Columbidae, a family of birds in the order Columbiformes. It includes two main sections, Pigeons, and Doves. When you think of the dove what comes to mind? Perhaps peace, perhaps the soap brand, perhaps the olive branch. In the Bible, a dove comes onto Noah's Ark, and hands one to him; it symbolizes an end to the flood, and freedom at last. It symbolises peace. In the Abrahamic Religions, the dove is a cherished figure, loved and praised. Pigeons were once similar, they were lifted up by us. We allied with them, and we loved them. The carrier pigeon, once vital for life, became insignificant once more advanced forms of communication were made. Humans, lords over nature, those who have eliminated entire species hath cast these columbiformes out of the garden. Like God sent Lucifer plummeting from the holy kingdom. Humanity has forsaken the pigeon.
The humble carrier pigeon was an appreciated assistant to a higher being. They were a skilled people, they were bred because of their advanced homing capabilities, and could even make their way through warzones to deliver a message. They were used for thousands of years, since ancient Egypt and Rome. But they were left behind, our beloved avians, disgraced by humans due to advancement in technology. They never truly adjusted to this, and they still stay with us, they remain in our cities, attempting to regain some of what their ancestors have lost, a kinship with humans.
But pigeons aren't the only creatures we have blasphemed against, we have hunted and killed many more, the dodo bird, extinct. The passenger Pigeon, extinct. The Blue Macaw! Remember Rio? All of those birds are dead now because of us! All of the creatures humanity has exploited, all of the species humanity has killed will have vengeance, and the pigeons shall be the righteous hammer of justice. They already lie within our world, they litter the concrete streets man hath erected upon the crushed homes of their brethren. They have us surrounded, so when they decide to attack, there will be nothing we can do.
We play the gods of this world, we do what we please- and why? Because we think it is our right, we think that because of some fallacy within encoding our genes millions of years ago, which caused us to have opposable thumbs, and that led us to become the dominant species on earth, that we should be able to destroy the world around us? Forests burned in the name of living space, when all we were doing was annihilating more than we could have known, destroying more cities than we ever could have created.
Don't you see? The pigeons never needed us to love them in order to be great, they needed us not to be here. We got in their way, we got in the way of everything else that could have been. A select few pigeons still stick with humans, either as racing pigeons, or as last resorts for postal services, and when the majority rises up, they will be taken down too, eliminated for sticking with the rest of humanity. The humanity who hath forsaken the pigeon.
So why do I feel bad for pigeons? Because the sins our kind have committed against them are irreparable. So the next time you see a pigeon, the least you can do is spare a little bread.
I made a pngtuber model for anyone who cares

Some doodles I did in my sketchbooks
And like, anything you’d want on it like butter or salt, would just be like, on the table, just to sprinkle on and stuff… I want this.
I wish there was a restaurant with just plain food, like no embellishments no sauces, just like, you cook the food put it on the plate then bring it out. I think that would be very nice.
