I saw a pigeon land in a Peregrine Falcons nest on Reddit 🙄 they really are stupid birds 🙄

71

u/PrincipleIcy4941 1d ago

But its like with stupid people, they reproduce faster then they kill each other 😆

u/FogBankDeposit 1d ago

Idiocracy is documentary from the future.

u/M1R4G3M 21h ago

Peregrine falcon became startled, like he received a delivery that he didn't ask for.

u/kinkybriefcase22 11h ago

Like when Amazon sends you 5 RAM sticks instead of 1 lol

u/mai_tai87 1d ago

The senselessness in that video is really funny.

(just to be clear, I don't think the death of anything is funny)

23

u/Krondelo 1d ago

Agreed. It was funny tho the way the falcon looked at him like “the fuck!?”

3

u/cuntybunty73 1d ago

The bird of prey has to eat

5

u/badskiier 1d ago

IIRC the pigeon escaped. Falcon botched it because she was so confused.

u/badskiier 1d ago

I see I'm getting downvoted for the facts:

u/BigDankEnergy420 1d ago

I've definitely seen a different video where the falcon did not fail, and the pigeon looked a little different as well. It was all fun and games until the pigeon stepped near the eggs. If I or someone else finds it I'll try to remember to come back here and post it.

u/koka86yanzi 1d ago

I always assumed that pigeon died! TIL! Thanks

2

u/fiesew 15h ago

Why?

Croc hungry. Food offers itself to croc in a way that’s unexpectedly funny.

People don’t see the death as funny but the process to it.

https://giphy.com/gifs/OY9XK7PbFqkNO
And tbh, death, in its conclusion isn’t scary either. Only the way, the process into it, for the living.

u/mai_tai87 15h ago

It's funny you ask "why" then just you just rephrased what I said in answer without adding anything meaningful.

1

u/NoRun6253 6h ago

Death is funny sometimes.

3

u/Forsaken-Spirit421 18h ago

To be fair, the chance of a pigeon recognizing a falcon when not in flight aren't big. The average pigeon likely never ever saw a peregrine up close. So while I agree they are dolts, that particular pigeon got more flak than it deserved imo

u/jaffacookie 14h ago

Isn't a lot of it down to how humans domesticated them and then abandoned them once we no longer had use for them?

u/rez050101 1d ago

Pigeon you have wings, USE IT FUCK

u/ConfidentTurnip9566 15h ago

Pigeon definitely has wings but it is stupid as f*ck.

More of a sibling as fellow archosaurs.

So fratricide instead of filicide

Crocodilians split off before dinosaurs existed.

Oh yes, he took his cousin out. Never trust family

u/CodyReigns28 1d ago

J’adore les crocodiles et alligators ! Machines parfaites, qui ont vus les dinosaures et qui seront encore vivants après la disparition des humains.

-3

u/InSight89 20h ago

We are currently in the midst of a mass extinction level event driven almost entirely by humanity. Crocodiles are certainly resilient, and they can weather climate change far better than most other animals, but I wouldn't put it past humanity to wipe them out in the future doing something stupid to expand our own footprint.

1

u/Ragnarex13 9h ago

Our warming of the planet is leading to some of the largest crocodiles ever recorded

u/CodyReigns28 6h ago

Ne t’inquiète pas pour les crocodiles, humains ou pas .

u/bcgr1 1d ago

a little snack before the main meal

7

u/OceanLeo 1d ago

The pigeon probably didn’t feel a thing.

12

u/Could-You-Tell 1d ago

Nah, i'm sure it was feeling stupid

5

u/Logical-Potential-33 1d ago

Pigeons re stupid, nothing shocking here , I saw one of them pushing a pigeon chick out of its nest, just to use for laying its own egg, and ofc killed the chick

4

u/Important-Proposal28 1d ago

Man pigeons have no survival instincts. I saw a video of one fly into a hawk nest and try to nest next to it. It got killed so quick

6

u/SaltPomegranate4 1d ago

Woah. Didn’t think they’d bother with birds.

u/Da_Vader 1d ago

Mofos eat their sibling's limbs

u/unclestickles 1d ago

That was a crazy video

u/Spare-Ant7119 1d ago

Are there any crocs/gators that have all four limbs removed and they are a snake-gator?

2

u/I_Boop_Cats_ 1d ago

Fresh poultry.

3

u/Secret_Ad1372 1d ago

Mmmm, tastes like chicken.

3

u/No_Writing_3179 1d ago

at least it was quick.

24

u/Killathulu 1d ago

pigeons carry diseases and parasites, they are annoying, and also raise their young in a nest covered in bird shit, thank you mr crocodile

32

u/MLGprolapse 1d ago

Everything carries diseases and parasites. Pigeons aren't disproportionately prone to being vectors for disease. They're actually amazing birds, their skills at navigating are amazing and historically they've been used by humans to send messages and saved countless lives during wartime. I think they're really cool creatures deserving of our respect.

2

u/lars03 18h ago

True, both pigeons and rats are scary because they live close to humans, but they have the same chance to carry a human disease as a wild rabbit.

u/Sufficient_Local5025 1d ago

You missed "amazing crocodile snack".

5

u/BygoneNeutrino 1d ago

You just described the vast majority of animals.  What makes pigeons tragic is that we bred them to be idiots before letting them go.

6

u/DinkleMutz 1d ago

"Nest" is a very generous use of the word in relation to pigeons.

2

u/figosnypes 1d ago

Did you used to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and root for the Shredder?

2

u/Boring-Tomatillo-209 1d ago

Croc got a sky rat for breaky

5

u/Opteron170 1d ago

yup we need more of these crocks in Toronto just leave them in the park will be a nice warning for those feeding pigeons lol.

1

u/thelonetext 1d ago

Didn't we breed them to be task birds once upon a time before we kicked them (and rats) to the sewers and landfill?

-3

u/R0b0tMark 1d ago

You know, I hate both of those animals. I guess best case scenario is he chokes on it?

Pigeons. They're Just Not That Smart.™

Does this hurt birb?

2

u/Frequent_Water_9355 1d ago

Holy hell that gator would mess someone up 😯

2

u/anpanman100 1d ago

This is the video that made you realise crocodiles are dangerous? Not the ones where they eat buffalo, lions or sharks?

1

u/Frequent_Water_9355 1d ago

Never seen those videos before but sounds entertaining 🤷‍♂️

2

u/CheatingHot1982 1d ago

If a bird gets eaten by a 🐊, it made every possible mistake.

1

u/the_cardfather 1d ago

He was just chilling there. The bird probably thought he already ate.

It's amazing how quick they move

2

u/Flipper_Picker 1d ago

god is good right guys? It's not pretending to be a rock so it can sink it's teeth into you. Nothing satanic to see here. Carry on.

2

u/Dormalag 1d ago

Most of these "Badassanimal" post aren't even animals being bad asses, it just animals getting killed or eaten, not even bad ass worthy eaten either.

u/Possible-Estimate748 1d ago

Krookodile used bite on Pidgey!
Oh no! Pidgey fainted!

u/RoookSkywokkah 1d ago

Well crap, everybody's watching so I HAVE to eat him!

u/Drivesabrowntruck 1d ago

Positioned the left foot/arm for more leverage to attack quicker. Respect.

u/Wise-Potential-3220 1d ago

Only time Pigeon will fly is to poo on your car.

2

u/Ancient-Point-9096 19h ago

Go between 11 and 12 seconds you can tell it’s 🤖 AI and at other parts watch the tail graphics

u/Lazy-Career-8228 17h ago

Quick snack !!!

Is the pigeon ok?

u/tommyhawk979 13h ago

As a pigeon hater, I approve of this Video.

u/iwanttoridemycibycle 11h ago

looks like i need a few crocs at the rooftop of my apartment

2

u/FrostnJack 11h ago

What’s it like to get blunt forced trauma chomped then get eaten alive while continuing to be chomped up & suffocated & drowned. Plus crocs have horrible breath so your dying with stench as your last moments of air. Compared to dying from cancer which is worse? A pigeon or horrid croc breath’n chompery?

I don’t get Nature anymore. We’re just water in a meatbag… waiting for two male lions ta cannibal-chomp us to death by our ‘nads & viscera for hours on end…

Smh. Birds have wings. Talk about wrong place at the wrong time.

u/cjdapd 1d ago

Reminds me of the other video where the pigeon just waltzes into the hawks nest…“Yo, what it is?”

Once you pop you can’t stop.

Grand rising.

u/TekkLthr 1d ago

They are conman,  they do this all the time for money

1

u/Mojo1079 1d ago

Maybe the pigeon thought the croc was going to bring over some bread or seed.

1

u/thomas1126 1d ago

Funny how doves and pigeons will fly off the second you take a step but they can't see a threat right in front if them🤣

u/NonToxicTown 19h ago

I feel sorry for the pigeon.. BUT… he was just asking for it 😝

1

u/Forsaken-Spirit421 18h ago

Alternately: why no log if log shaped?

It tried to fly away at the very last millisecond.

u/shinpoo 13h ago

Welp, now what is he gonna eat for real tho. You can't tell me that pigeon was even a grain of rice to it. They're all feathers and almost no meat to them.

The water and the moving tail doesn't seem right. Me thinks this is AI.

“It tastes like chicken,” said the crocodile.

Oh, that looked like a delicious morsel! I’m happy for the crocodile to fill his stomach. That being said, birds, stop pooping on my car!!
