most random question in the world
i live in brooklyn and theres a stretch of the belt parkway near my house. (duh.)
well theres a tunnel there. and...we noticed this on friday, and still there today...there are 2 dead pigeons STUCK TO THE WALL OFF THE TUNNEL!
:lol:
im not even kidding. its not like they splattered there...theyre intact...
so how does a dead pigeon get stuck to a brick wall and remain intact?
lol

we passed by in a car...lol
theyre attached to a completely verical brick wall.
i used to be a bird freak, so i know that Pigeons/Doves are not Passerine (Perching) birds, so they dont have the balance that it takes to sit on the side of a vertical wall. in fact only chickadees, woodpeckers, and parrots do, as far as new world birds anyway :D

maybe someone did it on purpose. either way, your logic of them not being perching birds coupled with the fact that things don't become adhesive when they die in mid-air, i call :bs:

You know what's fun? Psittaciform birds aren't passeriform, but they are passerine. How'd that happen? :)

If i recall correctly tractor trailer trucks are allowed to go through that tunnel right? if a bird is flying by the entrance of the tunnel, and a truck flies through it fast enough, i'd image the pure force of the wind might be able to throw the birds at the wall fast enough for the to simply....splat! and stay there.
i think this is possible becaues i know when passing a tractor trailer in a light car the wind it makes has caused my car to move on the road

Having driven through there many times in a big rig signs are posted all over that trucks are not allowed on the parkways. But I have to say I have done it a time or two, once by accident the second time wasn't though :D
I think those birds are just hanging around up there hoping to "spot" the right car!
Only New York where you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway!
