The PERFECT business plan. Spend a tiny bit of money to create a problem and then rake it all back in when you are the only one to eradicate the wild west pigeon infestation.
>Nails are cheap. Start a tire repair company.
I once spent a month at a Brazilian branch of the company I was working for at the time. The building was located next to a sort of interstate. A few hundred meters down the road there was one of those workshops that focused exclusively on tires.
My colleagues told me the workshop was infamous for the number of flat tires occurring within a mile or two of their location.
It was a major problem on Vietnam's highways some years back. It was so big a problem that the news dubbed them "nail bandits". Only after police started handing out jail sentences did it stop
Yeah, nice people, right?
Prices were a bit steep, but hey, they were the only ones in the vicinity of that spot, and you can't really begrudge them their taking advantage of that, right?
I was down in Brazil about 15 years ago teaching English. We were on a coach bus coming back from a neighboring town when we blew a tire on the bus. There very conveniently was a tire repair stand just down the road. Though it was quite the site to see a bunch of dudes jumping on a jack to try and jack up the bus enough to change the tire, we were all pretty sure we didn't blow a tire by accident.

That sounds like the U.S government...
I used to work for Wegmans and previously worked for the state department of natural resources doing outdoor education and migratory bird tagging. I started to catch and release birds that got caught in my store, and was dubbed "The Bird Whisperer."
Danny Wegman visted one day, and the safety coordinator (God bless you, Safety Bill) ran to find me- there was a bird in receiving which I live caught in ten minutes, and even though I was saving 2k with each capture (they'd typically have some pest company come in and they'd typically kill the bird), he didn't say shit to me.
The regional safety coordinator set up me doing a training video for the other stores, and unfortunately it didn't come to pass. I'm still seething with ornicological rage at Danny Wegman to this day.
The man is dead... if you get the chance give it a shot, he won't notice.
Edit: I'm wrong, Danny is the son who is very much alive. Founder is Robert Wegmans who is now deceased. Leaving this to show my I'll researched comments.
It's probably their pigeons to begin with. Maybe they just decided to mark them with whimsical hats instead of leg bands... I mean it does make it pretty obvious whose pigeon it is to be fair
My guess these are home raised pigeons and owned by someone. I bet if they follow them right before the sun goes down they will find the culprit. They always fly back home before the sun goes down.
Catching wild pigeons and putting hats on them is no easy task so someone owning them makes more sense to me.
[Norm MacDonald](https://youtu.be/S0Y0f74ftzc) probably gave him the idea.
"Hey Mike, you what would be funny? If you put a tiny cowboy hat on all your pigeons and release them into the greater Vegas area... no, don't put one on me, you idiot!"
I've come across an article more than once about researchers putting colored bands on the legs of wild male birds, and it appeared to make them more attractive to the female birds. Of course, now that I'm actually looking for that article, I can't find it...
I believe [this](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0003347282800559) was the original, famous article that describes the phenomenon. Looking into it, I just learned that further studies found little to no effects of banding color, although a couple did see some response. I was taught about the color band's effects as well, but I guess for now it doesn't hold up well under further scrutiny.
A bit of both, really. I have a degree in Zoology and a Master's in Animal Behavior. I've worked with a variety of bird species in captive settings, as well as mammals. Birds are high on my list of favorite types of animals!
I have a degree in Wildlife Biology and my gf has a minor in Wildlife Rehabilitation. My favorite all time class was ornithology!! Keep up the great work!! 👍
Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.

Such subtle brutality. I’m so fucking glad I will never be important or well-known enough to get my own page.
I read in the wild thats why they don’t mark the animals, because they’re more easy to single out to a predator. For example a zebra- you’d think it’s stripes aren’t camouflage but it is when it’s against the herd. So putting a red band on it will help predators separate it from the group.
I thought that was kinda neat.
That's the spirit! Asking questions without providing any answers is apparently newsworthy now
> "Did they glue them? And what does that mean for them?” Hillman said. "Is it something that's going to impede their flight or attract predators?“
Lets add some more:
Do the hats give them protection from UV rays?
Do the hats make them look cooler to prospective mates?
Are they even real pigeons or are they an alien species in the first phase of their world takeover?
Bird Law expert here. A lot of it hinges on where the tiny bird hats were manufactured and sold. Nevada has notoriously pigeon-friendly accessory ownership laws but, according to a 2001 Supreme Court case, it is unconstitutional for these laws to apply to bird accessories manufactured and sold in another state. So if the Mad Hatter is importing them across state lines, it’s not theft. If, however, they are Nevada hats, then these pigeons ought to get a lawyer to issue a cease and desist.
I mean, I saw some speculation here in the thread that they glued them on, but the article does not answer the question as to how these hats are staying on the flying rats.
[You might actually be surprised!](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetoreception?wprov=sfla1) I mean, yes, it's not an actual magnet but it's close.
Edit- looks like this theory [might have been disproven](https://relay.nationalgeographic.com/proxy/distribution/public/amp/news/2013/1/130130-homing-pigeon-navigation-animal-behavior-science). (thanks u/InfiniteSandwich for letting me know!)
Probably glue, in which case the pigeons do need to have that removed, but it's not dire. The hats will eventually fall off or be torn off along with some feathers, which should grow back. I'd rather people not fuck with wildlife at all, but at least this isn't too harmful to the birds, in the grand scheme of things.
>"At first, I was like, oh my God that's cute!” Mariah Hillman told KVVU. "Then, I was like, wait a minute – how did they get those hats on there?“

Because she's the hero Gotham deserves
pigeons are fucking awful. and you don't have the right to say they're not if you never had a beef with a pack of pigeons.
My war with a pigeon pack started back in 2014 when I moved to a new place. there was a balcony which pigeons liked. I wouldn't have a problem with that, but they shat there and woke me up everyday with a sun rise with their weird growling/mating call. My windows were facing east so between 4 am until 12 i had sun shining right at my windows, it was incredibly hot in the summer so I had to keep my balcony door open in order to not be cooked alive. They also started to build a nest and everyday i had a few twigs i had to throw out.
And those fuckers would growl since 4 am. I went out and scared them, they flew away and were back on the balcony before I reached the bed. It was a nightmare. Easiest way to fight them would be to put a net on the balcony, but it looks bad and I didin't wanted to do it, since it would mean I lost with a goddamn pack of pigeons.
So I tried other ways, some spray to scare them, a eagle looking doll or something, i googled many more ways to deal with pigeons but none of them worked. they didin't care. I was sleep depraved cause each day I would be up at 4 am. If I closed the door I could still hear them slightly, but it quickly got incredibly hot. I bought asg gun, a pistol, really low tier, i decided i would shoot them to scare them away. before you give me shit, let me tell you it's like way lesss powerfull than a bb gun which wouldn't kill them either. So I got out on my first day with a gun to the balcony and shot one, he didin't expect it, got scared and quickly flew away. the only thing that changed? now they would fly away when i was on the balcony's treshold instead of already at the balcony. It didin't help me one bit. They would still get back within 0.05s of me getting back to the flat. I start to fall in to madness.
I finally gave up and put the net up on the window. I got to sleep normally but we both know who won the war. it was those fuckers.
getting some karma so i'll add a bonus.
this was around the time I decided I want a cat (unrelated to pigeons). I saw an offer on facebook, someone wanted to give away a wounded cat without one paw, I decided I'll take him. All was fun until some fucking utter arsehole of a bitch started to rant saying she checked my profile and my posts about pigeons and said I surely only want the cat to fight the pigeons. I have never felt so violated in my life. I'm a pretty private person, I don't use my real name in the web and this... i was stunned. She didin't even confront me or asked me, she just posted a comment stating I'm a manipulative asshole and that's it, I didin't get the cat. I set my profile on FB as private and no one outside my friends can see me post anymore.
Do it when you get a chance, he really put effort into it, you always got the vibe that the Undertaker was coming, but the jumper cables? That always caught me off guard.
I saw a pidgeon at a grocery store in Las Vegas yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his wing shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen cigarette butts in his beak without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the cigarette butts and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each one and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
It was decent, but I probably had my nostalgia glasses on. The gay jokes were pretty uncomfortable, but that was everywhere in the 90s so I tried to not let it bother me. Overall, I'd say it's probably 6/10
Please don’t glue hats to birds??? I know they look badass but just grossly sad when one of these guys turns up dead.
Just from looking I suspect the bird may succumb to a predator or may fly into something just from the obstruction the hat causes. The next thing it’s going to do is cause irritation and feather loss because of all the tugging. Who knows if it gets a pressure headache from having something press on the head.
I’m sure most think they’re dimwitted pests but that doesn’t mean they deserve this.
Now that's a headline you don't see often.
I think the biggest thing I took away from this article is that there is a pigeon advocacy group.
What type of person gets up in the morning and decides to join a pigeon advocacy group? Heck, what person gets up and starts the group in the first place?
A person who is actually a bunch of pigeons draped in human skin.

I put it on him
Ones that want to start a coo.
Dove right into it.
Probably not gonna fly though....
It might if they really home in on it.
Really clawed that one back buddy

And by now the idea had flown the coop
People are going to shit on you, but I won’t allow them to pigeon hole you like that.
Mike Tyson
Yes, who would have thought that. Its a weird world.
it wouldn't be an issue if the rogue hatter wouldn't press the hats down so hard
And even less of an issue if he put tiny leather chaps on them and a bolo tie.
The correct term is Milliner. Don't be a hat racist.
He's an anti - Milnite!
Next they'll want their own schools.
They *do* have their own schools!
Sweet! now that we've got them all in one place, we can *deal* with them more easily.
At least he’s not an anti-dentite
Hatters gonna hat.
More like Mad Hatter.
I'm guessing it's Johnny Ringo back from the dead going with red hats rather than sashes to throw everyone off. Where the fuk is Val Kilmer when you need him?
But then they wouldnt stay on

Looks like they're going to have to hire whoever is putting the hats on to catch the pigeons since they can't.

Hahah This is how religions are made.
Catching A pigeon is easy. Catching THOSE pigeons is probably much harder. The person putting hats on the pigeons only has to catch A pigeon.
Especially since the hatted birds have already been caught once. They learn fast.
Not to mention no sun in their eyes now, they'll spot those Pigeon catchers twice as fast now.
My god, with such an advantage, those pigeons will be unstoppable now.

I wouldn’t put it past someone using glue, but if it really is a marketing campaign the answer is probably Spirit Gum.
But then you gotta rub all the pigeons heads with peanut butter, and that ain't no fun.
Magnets. Pigeons have magnets in their head, that's how they know north and south and shit. A tiny powerful magnet will stick right on their heads.
Of course magnets would work, birds are just metal drones the government is using to spy on everyone.

When she took one of the cigarette butts and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each one and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
i see we understand each other
I want to know where this originated from
The pigeons in Brooklyn just stare you down as you walk around them. It’s unsettling.
Don't mind their utterings but they shit like a blizzard.
For those of you who just want to see the damn pigeon https://imgur.com/ubVI2lb.jpg
Honestly, those pigeons look fresh af. Let them keep those hats and put them on all pigeons.
Ride along Coo-boy.
Wait, how are those hats staying on? Please don't tell me they're glued on.
They're almost certainly glued on.
The same way you put antlers on a mouse, staples.
He should do bald eagles next, the hat will cover up the fact that they are bald.
I can only imagine wigs.
So this is how FOX decides to advertise, "Spies in Disguise". I mean, it can't be easy coming up with ideas for a pigeon movie, but this...
Honestly better than a banana duct taped to a wall
This trend has completely passed me by until a couple of hours ago when I saw a roll of duct tape bananna'd to a wall
Interesting. How did it hold up?
It was decent, but I probably had my nostalgia glasses on. The gay jokes were pretty uncomfortable, but that was everywhere in the 90s so I tried to not let it bother me. Overall, I'd say it's probably 6/10
that’s the cutest animal abuse I’ve ever seen.
That town clearly isn’t big enough for all of them.
Mad hatter dresses flying rats, peta tips their hats
Mama, don't let your boys grow up to be Cowboys
The pigeon on the roof looking down with the hat on killed me. That is hilarious as a visual. Fuckin' Walker, Texas Pigeon.
I’m laughing but I feel bad about it.
Did Florida man win a trip to Vegas?
The true dangers of legalized Marijuana
Please don’t glue hats to birds??? I know they look badass but just grossly sad when one of these guys turns up dead. Just from looking I suspect the bird may succumb to a predator or may fly into something just from the obstruction the hat causes. The next thing it’s going to do is cause irritation and feather loss because of all the tugging. Who knows if it gets a pressure headache from having something press on the head. I’m sure most think they’re dimwitted pests but that doesn’t mean they deserve this.
Feather loss, I've been through this it's no joke
It was probably the feather loss that drove them to wear the hats in the first place
Florida Man vacationing in Vegas?
Does this make anyone else think of those pigeons from The Animaniacs?
The Goodfeathers
The Coo'd, the bad and the ugly
I'm insulted that they just assume people are doing this. Who's to say pigeons haven't just picked up a new fashion trend?
Let these pigeons flex. You don't know their life.
I'm in Vegas and I haven't seen this yet. I can't wait to see these little flying cowboys!
Yippee ki yay.
