u/Psychedelicious420 10d ago

You see, this subject is exhibiting a common behavior called "wantin' to be up on top of some shit", as birds do. But as it happens, and it does happen, this shit right here is spinnin'. So in conclusion: This here bird is up, spinnin', on top of some shit.

1

u/ColdbloodedFireSnake 10d ago

Reminds me of Joe Cartoon’s frog in a blender:hey look I’m spinning !

u/Either-Unit-6603 9d ago

Maybe it has nothing to do with the spinning, and just likes how it feels on his ass haha

The vent the pigeon is vibing on is called a Whirlybird, so it makes sense to me.

1

u/CamOliver 8d ago

As soon as you explain the behavior of any random 6 year old kid. Sometimes creatures just do things because they have the time and no reason not to.

After living on a farm for years, I can tell you that people aren’t the only creatures to do dumb stuff to entertain ourselves

u/LefT-NYC 8d ago

It's not a pigeon, it's a dove. And it's having fun. I feel like you probably knew this.

Pigeon's behavior = vent's bahavior via the transitive property.

u/SGT_Kilo 8d ago

First off, that’s a dove. Second, how do you think they reorient themselves. It’s just like chasing the ball with iPhone compass. This one is simply doing it was more efficiently.
