There’s a conspiracy theory that pigeons are drones that spy on us and report back to the government and that’s why you never see a baby pigeon, this is also the theory behind the viral phrase; “the birds work for the Bourgeoisie“.

While these kinds of stories are certainly fun to speculate about, in this case, it’s been entirely debunked.

Unlike other bird species, baby pigeons can remain in the nest for up to six weeks so by the time they fly the coop, they’re already nearly fully grown and look like an adult pigeon.

Look closely, though, and you might see that baby pigeons aren’t red around their eyes yet, like an adult pigeon.

That colour comes later, at around ♥♥♥♥♥♥ maturity, which occurs between seven months and one year of age.

Oh noes
