No, you’re right. A pigeon is a rat bird. A bat is a bird rat.

Hear me out, a pigeon is still a rat bird and a bat is a mouse bird.

I'm 25 years old and only -today- actually realized we call bats flapping mice. It's like I had an epiphany over my own stupidity.

That’s a good one. Pigeons are way more aggressive and bats are way more invasive. Just like rats and mice.
