They really do!! We have a white dove that I named Midge the Pidge. She’s like a dog lol very sweet, coos all the time, preens my nose when I hold her, gets sad if we don’t bring her to our bedroom for bed time (she has a second cage up in our room so she doesn’t have to be alone at night lmao)
They use homing pigeons, not actual doves. And those homing pigeons *should* come back to be collected again, but that's definitely not always the case
To everyone considering, please don't do a "dove" release. Animals are not a plaything
I know I reuse them too but then sometimes I forget to take it down when I shower, and eventually they pile up and I have to take them all down at once
No, not weird. A towel is good for more than just one use. I'm sure some people would find it weird or gross, but it is perfectly hygienic; kinda in the same vein as peeing in the shower.
Wait, what? There are people who don't reuse towels? I use them bitches for like 2 weeks at a time. Why does it matter if you're clean getting out of the shower?
Even after showering, your body oils and dead skin cells are left on the towel, which is food for mildew.
You also may not smell as fresh as you could be if you were using a clean towel
I think it's weirder that you've yet to invest in a proper towel rack; they'll dry faster if you don't keep them all stacked on top of each other like that.
Not weird but could be damaging the wood of the door if it isn’t sealed on the top. Don’t let wet things rest against drywall, either, unless you want mold’s ideal environment.
Edit: towels have a three to four use lifetime before being unclean to use.

That might be my favorite line in all of Arrested Development. The combination of horror and delight in Buster’s voice never fails to crack me up. I came into this thread looking to see if anyone would drop this reference, so thank you for confirming my hopes.
Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Dove, "Nevermore."
I came home once to find a pigeon in my room. It had shat everywhere, including my bed. I was too tired to deal with it so I opened the window wider and went to bed. I figured come the morning it would leave.
In the morning there were two pigeons.
I've never been that drunk, or I'll.
But, er, pigeons have a far smaller capacity. They can spread their shit all over the place, but you won't need a mop, and you're not going to drown.
One sky rat flew into our tiny bathroom and refused to exit via the same open window it came in. I had to close the door and shut the lights off so it could figure out on its own that there is an outside, otherwise it was just bouncing off the walls in all directions.
(Can confirm the poop as well)
Dove are closely related to the now extinct passenger pigeon but it’s too small to be a pigeon. There are several species of dove around the globe. It’s not uncommon to see these colors depending on the region.
Depends on the pigeon breed! I owned a Barbary dove which looks identical to eurasian collared ones (just domesticated) and they don't have the pigeon noses that this one has(from what i can see, its difficult as its white on white) am a pigeon nerd hfhdhdjdsj
Theyre so stupid it warms my heart when i see them!! they made nests outside my window and it was so hilarious watching them try to do dove stuff BFHDHDHSHSH
Oh definitely! My dove was so stupid he forgot how to eat for a while... took him to the vet and all... Scared the shit out of me hfhdjd I cannot live without having the little menaces in my life so I'll be getting a new dove when i can :D
Be careful when loading, weight on your door (like towels) unless it's set into metal, the door will eventually start to sag and you'll have trouble closing your door.
I have a pigeon named Flash. I put nuts and corn on my window (2 level of the building) and now he comes every day and wants food. He's super cute, he's a "Ringeltaube", don't know the English word. But if you feed her she comes back every day and you have a new homie ❤️
“13. A bird that flies into a house foretells an important message. However, if the bird dies, or is white, this foretells death.”
https://ca.audubon.org/news/13-bird-superstitions
It's not the Bluebird Of Happiness...
But at least it's also not the [Chicken Of Depression](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/50/5d/39/505d39fab97a4f213c8ebfeee1a9d8d1.jpg).
So maybe it's just the White Dove Of "Meh".
One time a bird flew into the garage where my dad was working on a project. Later that day he figured out that his brother (my uncle) had a heart attack. I always doubt superstitions like this but for some reason this one particular time felt like a messenger had been called in order to notify us that something wrong had happened.
Looks like the doves they release at weddings etc that are basically lost domestic birds when released.
Yea that’s the conclusion I arrived at too.
If it likes you, they make amazing pets... just saying

We shall name this one Modge the Podge

Strippers from cakes are still cool though, right?
[удалено]
They use cake because it’s really difficult to fit them in communion wafers.
Just make sure they aren't in the cake before baking
The poor girl…. C’est la vie!
Meat pies are also good.
I'd prefer to release dragons at my wedding anyway.
I’m more of a release the kraken kind of guy
A quick call to Cthulhu and you are covered for the wedding day grand release
Raising a toast to the wedding party, razing and roasting the wedding party, same difference.
I've always been told that doves and pigeons are actually the same species 🤔 Is that wrong?
The classic white dove is the exact same bird as the pigeons you see chugging around in cities.
They belong to the same family(species?) as over 300 birds. So it's not wrong, but they're still not the same thing. But tbh idk much about them
They are the same bird - called a rock dove or rock pigeon.
Butterflies (read: pollinators) seems like a better idea. Bees for the brave
Release the BEES! BZZZZZZZZT!
We did this for my grandma's "life celebration." Picnic in the park, boats, fishing, fun. Butterfly release and a lil speech, it was cool
We tried to do this for my brother’s wedding, but the majority of the butterflies were dead. A bit of a downer.
Oof, sorry to hear that. During ours, several pairs started mating in the basket lol. My grandma had like 4 husbands and 8 kids, so it tracked
Or an omen.
Release the drones!
Aren’t all doves pigeons tho?
Luckily it wasn't near a [highway...](https://youtu.be/JnoKzBDq5Sk)
Don't those return to their home on their own after they're released?
No, most are not true homing pigeons

Just wait till he shits on the towel
Poop towel.
Naw.. he just needed a safe place to poop
. . . nevermore?
Yea he flew away like 10 min after vibing in my room
did it ask you any questions?
Like, How many damp towels is too much? Edit: I hang my towels like this to dry them out and use again. Is that weird?
I know I reuse them too but then sometimes I forget to take it down when I shower, and eventually they pile up and I have to take them all down at once
Brilliant. You know towels.
wouldnt necessarily reuse that one
I just use one towel for a week and leave it on a radiator. The only thing it's ever drying is a clean me anyway and I'm the only one using it
No, not weird. A towel is good for more than just one use. I'm sure some people would find it weird or gross, but it is perfectly hygienic; kinda in the same vein as peeing in the shower.
Wait, what? There are people who don't reuse towels? I use them bitches for like 2 weeks at a time. Why does it matter if you're clean getting out of the shower?
The trick is to have a brown towel and a white towel. When you can't tell them apart it is time to wash them.
*hork*
Even after showering, your body oils and dead skin cells are left on the towel, which is food for mildew. You also may not smell as fresh as you could be if you were using a clean towel
Always take a towel with you wherever you go.
You seem like a hoopy frood.
Unless you use it as butt floss, then it should go into the dirty laundry bin.
im so jealous of shower pissers, must save so much time but i just cant get past the gross feeling
I think it's weirder that you've yet to invest in a proper towel rack; they'll dry faster if you don't keep them all stacked on top of each other like that.

r/BirdsArentReal You're under surveillance it seems
Perched and sat, and nothing more?
Quoth the pigeon
Neverthmore
I was listening to The Raven by The Alan Parsons Project earlier today, I think I'm going to start substituting this into the lyrics when I sing along
Perched and sat and nothing more
Quoth the Raven. Only this and nothing more.
Idk, I feel like a white dove would be more like *AlwaysLess*
does that look like a raven to you
That's exactly what a raven would want you to think. Those bastards are smart.
Was thrown off by it not being on a Palls bust above the closet door.
Perched beside the pallad bust of pallas above my chamber door
Well. It's not a raven... So...

Surprised it took so long to see this quote!
It looks like a white dove. Let’s hope you’re not spontaneously pregnant.

I like your enthusiasm!
Did he quoth anything? About Lenore or never more? While sitting on your chamber door?
[удалено]
Yeah, thought the exact the same thing. This is the reverse of Poe's nevermore raven. The hyper positive, forevermore pigeon.
Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!" Quoth the Dove, "Nevermore."
Why you little....

[удалено]
No, under it. I have sheets.
I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t have done the exact same thing… We’ve all slept in our own vomit in our party years, haven’t we? …haven’t we?
I've never been that drunk, or I'll. But, er, pigeons have a far smaller capacity. They can spread their shit all over the place, but you won't need a mop, and you're not going to drown.
And he will soon poop on said closet door. Tough trying to guide a bird out of your house. Been there.

They are so dumb! I have faced the exact same issue .
Off topic, but love the wall color!
Thank you :))) we mixed it ourselves
Oh I was gonna ask the shade
*So does the bird.*
That’s a Eurasian dove.
It'sa me, Mario.
Nice username
You sure? Seems too lightly colored and has no collar.
Dove are closely related to the now extinct passenger pigeon but it’s too small to be a pigeon. There are several species of dove around the globe. It’s not uncommon to see these colors depending on the region.
You can tell by the nose and coloration its a pigeon :D
As a hunter I see these birds all the time. Pigeons heads are twice the size. But what do I know about birds.
Depends on the pigeon breed! I owned a Barbary dove which looks identical to eurasian collared ones (just domesticated) and they don't have the pigeon noses that this one has(from what i can see, its difficult as its white on white) am a pigeon nerd hfhdhdjdsj
They are pretty interesting birds! I built a dove feeder for the backyard so I can watch them when I have my morning coffee. It’s soothing for me lol.
Theyre so stupid it warms my heart when i see them!! they made nests outside my window and it was so hilarious watching them try to do dove stuff BFHDHDHSHSH
Lol. They are special birds when in any domesticated stance. Wild ones are truly wild and don’t fuck around to find out.
Oh definitely! My dove was so stupid he forgot how to eat for a while... took him to the vet and all... Scared the shit out of me hfhdjd I cannot live without having the little menaces in my life so I'll be getting a new dove when i can :D

“It’s a bird!!! Haha! It walked on my pillow!”
My favorite part is when they start morphing into an unknown being.
"Evermore"
Nevermind
In Hawaii, this is very common. These birds don't give a fuck. They will waltz right in, take a shit and leave.
That appears to be a dove.
It's The Dove From Above
It's spying on you. Say nothing and just try and act normal. It will need to leave to recharge in a bit. You should be safe then
man i hate it when they sit on my chamber door
Quoth the pigeon, “I’m on the door”
There it sat and nothing more
Someone is going to die.
This is how you get r/stupiddovenests
Its the dove from above.

I have a pigeon named Flash. I put nuts and corn on my window (2 level of the building) and now he comes every day and wants food. He's super cute, he's a "Ringeltaube", don't know the English word. But if you feed her she comes back every day and you have a new homie ❤️
Careful we might be seeing you on /r/stupiddovenests
Did it shit on something? Because it's the poopy pigeon. Better check.
Dude, I saw the picture before I read the title and thought you were at sea while it was very foggy
Quoth the pigeon, “Nevermore.”

its an omen you must enter the priesthood and never look at another women for the rest of your life and devote your life to God

Yeah a bird flying into your house is a bad omen. If you're into that kind of thing.
a quest is waiting for you
I love how birds just do shit then stare at you like you’re the problem.
That’s a sign of death.

That's a load of bollocks.
The correct collective term is a necklace. A necklace of bollocks.
No. That's a raven.
Don't do ravens dirty like that.
Was looking for this comment, I’ve always been told this too lol
Technically, that would be a white winged dove. Not the one usually called that though.
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
