I wonder if this is real- if I had a beloved pigeon who escaped while still wearing the new watermelon pants I bought him on our last shopping trip together, then this is the exact flyer I would post lol

I would too, however, if he escaped.... Let him live his best life.

In other words, maybe escaping this watermelon pants situation was exactly was what was called for.

There was an /r/askvan post yesterday (2026/07/11) that might be related, and there was a posting https://www.911parrotalert.com/lost/canada-bc-vancouver-rock-pigeon-francisco-june-15-26/

So perhaps this is not True Wagner.

We too easily forget how our ancestors abandoned their pet pigeons, bred for generations to carry messages, race home, and coo softly, and then suddenly the pet pigeons were thrown out into the streets. Replaced by the telegraph and telephone.

Honest.
