Help[Opinions] Re: Pigeon
in reply to a message by Sparrow
In my experience, urban pigeons are universally disliked and referred to as Feathered Rats. It doesn't come more negative than that.

Pigeons and rats are still God’s creatures. I’m saddened by these responses, if I am honest. I don’t mean to single you out. I think this board might be too hateful by default for me. There are other more enjoyable ways to waste one’s creative energy.

You’ll have to toughen up if you plan on asking about names like Pigeon...
Even if it didn’t have the bird connotation the sound is just unpleasant imo. I’d certainly hate to be called Pigeon.

Your own responses are sometimes a bit hateful too, so you might want to pay attentition to it if you want to make this board a bit more positive place.
As for pigeons, I have nothing particular against them. I find seagulls more scary and annoying. Pigeon as a name sounds just silly. Very childish, like Piglet. I do like Cricket as a pet name though.

If it makes you feel better, pigeons delight me :) They are very, very rare in my city, because we have a population of urban peregrine falcons that eat them. So whenever I see a pigeon I yell "PIGEON!" very excitedly, and whenever I travel and see them in droves in another city it makes me sooo happy. I think they are very pretty birds, too; I like their style. They are like tiny business birds, very busy and important little jerks. I don't know, they just make me smile.
One time a pigeon pooped directly on my head, as instant karma after I said the children in the city of Chicago "looked weird", and I *still* like them.

Honestly, I just don't like the word on a person. I am kinda indifferent to the bird. I did see a ghost pigeon once.

Pigeons and rats carry diseases and are harmful in various ways. The pigeons’ shit destroys monuments. I’m an animal lover and I don’t care for them. I’m not saying they should be hurt though controlling their populations in cities makes sense.
I don’t think it’s hateful to dislike certain animals as long as you aren’t actually trying to harm them. I’m a crazy cat lady and there are plenty of people who can’t stand them.
Also, you’ve been here for a long time, you should know that if there’s a place you just get your opinion validated, BtN is not it.

Aw c’mon, the names I love often get savaged. What were you expecting?
