LMAO I WAS JUST GONNA SAY
When it says India, all my suspicions go away of it not being true...
I immediately believe it. I'm sure you can fill that entire sub for a year with just one day's worth of indian newspapers.
The bird muttered "suckers" before taking off toward the northeast.
Eventually, it turned out the pigeon was an open-water racing bird from Taiwan
That's exactly what a Chinese pigeon spy would want you to think
"It is not the first time a bird has come under police suspicion in India."
This exact same thing happened with a painted pigeon from Pakistan except that time the ring had a phone number of the owner on it and India claimed it was secret code to communicate with terrorists: Pakistani villager urges India to return 'spy' pigeon
That's four or five pigeon years of hard time on the inside. They don't keep you that long unless you really rustle somebody's feathers which tells me he kept his beak shut. This guy's no stool pigeon.
Committing espionage is a dick move in bird law.
I wonder who that bird’s lawyer was?
That's actually a beautiful shot of a well cared for pigeon. This whole article is fucking nuts though haha.
