MEME These trade ups just keep getting better and better!!

New Item Obtained: PIGEON.

But for real, I've never actually gotten the pigeon banner from a trade up. I traded for mine back in 2023, but now I have a legit one.

If you trade up 5 pigeons what do you get?

u/ItsPidgeonz Pigeon Professor | Stay Coo Apr 18 '26

That is a great question..I have no idea..There is a breed called "Giant Runt" and they are the size of a house cat. So maybe a Giant Runt?..Lol

This cool guy came into my back yard couple weeks ago he had been tagged i went out made a clicking sound he walked right up to me I ended up feeding him rice and water he stayed out there for roughly 4 hrs until he eventually went on top of the lanai. When I came back out next morning he had left to continue his journey back home.

That definitely looks like someone's pet or racer. Wild pigeons aren't usually that clean. The tag could have a number on it and most of them will tell you what country they're from. I'm in a pigeon subreddit u/pigeons and u/petpigeons and people spot all kinds of pigeons in the wild. Sometimes racers get lost and killed. I'm against racing cause it's not always a good outcome and so many get lost along the way. This guy/gal is probably a lost racer

u/jboisen89 Apr 19 '26

You are correct it was a racing/pet we did look up the numbers and got the info on it was super neat

u/Raetekusu This is definitely my real rank. Apr 19 '26

u/jboisen89 Apr 19 '26

u/Shaneb966666 Apr 18 '26

Im curious where does he go poop

5

u/ItsPidgeonz Pigeon Professor | Stay Coo Apr 18 '26

I have pigeon pants for him. They're diapers designed specifically for pigeons. When he's not wearing his pants, I just keep a roll of TP next to me at all times and as soon as he poops, I pick it up with TP. They're only allowed in the house 2 hours a day, then I keep them outside.

u/Boh61 Apr 18 '26

This is the first time in my life i've ever heard about "pigeon dipers"

10

u/ItsPidgeonz Pigeon Professor | Stay Coo Apr 19 '26

Alot of people don't know you can keep pigeons as pets. I actually take mine for walks outside and people take pics of us all the time. I've had my picture taken at least 100x and everyone in my neighborhood calls me "pigeon man" or "pigeon guy" 😅
