Oh, hey, yes, yes, hello, it is your internet dad.

This is Ologies, I'm Ali Ward, and you and me,

we are together here for the sake of pigeons.

So we've done episodes on ornithology and pelicans and chickens and

condors and crow funerals.

But pigeons, you don't need binoculars or a farm

to stare at them.

But would you want to?

Will this episode grow throughout with

pigeon facts or will you be googling pigeon adoption? Either way, this episode is

so mellow and so soothing and exactly the opposite of the feral chaos that you might expect tonally from a show about the who dedicated years, decades of her life to observing these creatures and years

hitting the books and pouring through pigeon studies and even writing a guide

about them. So we're going to get to that in a minute but first thing, second,

thank you so much to all the folks at Patreon.com slash ologies for making this show possible. You can join for a dollar a month and I may read your questions to ologists. And thanks for making this show possible by supporting by wearing Ologies

merch from the link in the show notes or just by leaving a review which you can do for

zero dollars. Poy Howdy. Let me tell you I read them all and then I serve you up a just left one such as this one from

Kibki whose review said we found it y'all the perfect podcast everyone Everyone else go home.

Kibki, thank you.

But I'm going to stay here for a minute because we got a pitch an episode.

Okay, another listener, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
