Man ‘Draws’ Figures With Pigeons By Strategically Feeding Them
Art takes on many forms. But who would have ever thought that art could be created with the help of some pigeons? When we think of pigeons, we probably think about those large flocks of pigeons mulling about in parks and city squares pecking at bits of food on the ground that people have dropped. Or the large swarms of pigeons that gather around someone who is brave enough to feed them. But one man has done the impossible and has actually come up with a pretty cool concept. He has harnessed the power of the pigeon’s appetite in order to...

As it turns out, those cyclists had an ulterior motive for being so kind. They ended up calling the cops. On the Mittelfranken police Facebook page, officers posted information...

Is COVID-19 Turning Denmark’s Mink Into Zombies?
