Woman Realizes Two Pigeons Have Been Sitting With Her In The Room For 2 Hours, Shares Everything In Hilarious Tweets
Pigeons are badass. They’re faster than cheetahs. More muscle-bound than gorillas. And can invade your home just to watch you eat. That’s right, I’m not joking. Londoner Lucy Topping just experienced it first hand and even live-tweeted the entire flying hell for all of you non-believers to shut your beaks.
Lucy’s evening started out pretty chill. After coming home from the gym, she sat down to have her dinner and watch Would I Lie To You. A well-deserved meal after a long hard day. Cool. However, in the middle of the show, she looked up and suddenly realized she wasn’t alone. There they were, the two pigeons sitting on her bookshelf, watching her suspiciously. Probably plotting where to drop a few white bombs as well. Continue scrolling to read how everything unfolded!

Even though pigeons are city-dwellers, this encounter is definitely for the books. However, since these flying rascals are everywhere around us, we might as well get to know them better. Pigeons thrive in urban areas where humans create structures that they are can adapt for their own use. Tall buildings and window ledges are perfect for the birds to roost, loaf and build nests. Pigeons usually scavenge from the trash and from pet food dishes left outside, but aren’t afraid to pick up virtually any snacks they find. Also, some people feed them breadcrumbs, birdseed, and other delicatessens to help them get by. But flocks or otherwise displaced pigeons can be found far from civilization as well.
Interestingly, the pigeon was used in both World War I and II. Most notably by the Australian, French, German, American, and UK forces. Some of them were even received various rewards for their service. For example, on 2 December 1943, three pigeons – Winkie, Tyke, and White Vision – got the first-ever Dickin medal, serving with Britain’s Royal Air Force, for rescuing an air force crew during World War II.
So if you ever find a couple of these birds in your own living room, don’t hurry them away. Offer them a seat, have a chat, who knows, maybe they’re heroes!
Here’s how people reacted to the hilarious invasion

Look in the bright side, They're pigeons, not crows! Crows can hold long grudges, and tell other crows about you and to harass you.
Well you know the old saying...a bird in the living room is worth getting out of the house and letting them have it.
When I was much younger living with my mom, we noticed something wasn't quite right one day when we had returned home from gathering groceries. News papers that were on the table were now on the floor and my parakeet's were acting strange. After some investigating we noticed dirt near the fireplace that we've never used. After a look around the living and then upstairs in the bedrooms we found A BIRD IN MY BROTHERS CLOSET!! My brother and I suited up (trench coats, gloves, hats, a broom) to try and get the bastard out of the house. We closed off their room and took the screen off of the window. After ALOT of coaxing we managed to get it out of the closet and to fly out of the window.
I once discovered a pigeon got into the wall space behind my shower and was flapping around unable to escape. It was easy to chase it into a trash bag because I happened to keep milk crates back there, and I just chased it into a crate.
If this ever happens to you, just leave a window open and wait a long while. They will have to leave sometime to get some food and to get laid. Come back. Once they are gone, close your window. This has happened to me with bigger birds and many more!
I would be careful. Once I saw a flock of pigeons and a murder of crows fight over a slice of pizza at a busstop. Pigeons kicked crow a*s.
I am fully aware of how the word tea is used in the UK... BUT FFS YOU DON'T EAT TEA! I'm pretty sure? that is improper usage even for brits...
If you can't understand the Queen's English, get your own language, stupid Americans.
