Racing Pigeons' Faces of Death

Hi Pigeon Fans!

   Today's blog is not for the squeamish or gentle folks. Due solely to their popularity the links below cover a vast number of ways pigeons meet their end. Some unlucky birds just live too close to man while others just suffer the facts of life. I have left out any videos that seem to be deliberate as I do not condone unnecessary cruelty to anyone or anything. Today's results video can be viewed in the player below, it turned out kind of dark, but the results were fine and after a few slowpokes the days schedule was a success.


     The first links are two very popular videos I'm sure most of you have seen. The second of the two is the original version submitted by the producer.

      This next one is kinda cute and funny, not to worry nothing dies.

      This unlucky bird chooses the wrong time to get a closer look at the match.

      Another "ball" sport that does not fair well for a passing pigeon, maybe our feathered friends are too familiar with us.

       I'm not sure weather to laugh or cry.

      This series brings you the very worst in sports disasters from around the world. This video tells the tragic story of Percy the home pigeon's untimely and violent death.

      Here is an old ad from Ford that wasn't aired, at least in North America, not to worry it's not real and sort of funny.

      Today's last link will take you to a LucasMartel submission, "A rookie secret agent is faced with a problem seldom covered in basic training: what to do when a curious pigeon gets trapped inside your multi-million dollar, government-issued nuclear briefcase." very cool animated video.

        I hope nobody is too offended
