Why do I have to deal with pigeons on the train

29 replies

Namechangedforthis25 · 08/07/2024 19:41

Every Time I’ve got on a train from Waterloo in the last week there’s been a pigeon on the train

walking around, pecking, flying above my head - can’t escape

never happened to me before

whats going on? Feels like they are taking over

Urgh I'd absolutely hate this.

Ask to see its ticket and report if it doesn't have one.

Namechangedforthis25 · 08/07/2024 19:47

It was flapping about and sat on the luggage rack… above my head

yikes

My son will tell you that there are no birds, they are all government drones watching you.

(I am fairly sure he doesn't actually believe this...... But what if he is right?)

LampGhost · 08/07/2024 19:49

Look, it bought a ticket just like the rest of you, so has every right to be there. Bloody snobs.

Irridescantshimmmer · 08/07/2024 19:50

It's going to wonder where the hell it is when it gets off.

No way....😩

It’s the pigeon’s train now.

It could be worse. It could start playing drum’n’bass on its phone without headphones…

MartyFunkhouser · 08/07/2024 20:00

I’d think that was funny. Unless it shat on my head.

Magnastorm · 08/07/2024 20:01

Fowl play.

GoodVibesHere · 08/07/2024 20:02

Maybe it's just one pigeon and it's following you.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 08/07/2024 20:04

Don't worry, it'll be able to find its own way home.

PickledMuffin · 08/07/2024 20:10

@GoodVibesHere 🤣

Greentreesandbushes · 08/07/2024 20:44

They normally just want to get off at Clapham.

OhmygodDont · 08/07/2024 20:47

Take a cat with you 🐈

Namechangedforthis25 · 08/07/2024 21:08

I reckon it was eventually heading to Peck-ham

The town I live in eliminated all off the pigeons. The council said they'd gone to live in lovely dove cotes outside of the town, no one has ever see these though. We all know this is bull shit and contaceptives were the real reason for their demise. Maybe London could do the same?

Looks the same tbh

I think it should

There is a real problem

ones snatched my food before, another’s flown into my friends face whilst we were having a drink

I've no idea why I typed off instead of of...maybe I've been on the local town FB page too much. Despite having "good" schools in the town the average person living here has woeful grammar.

It's because of a woman called Janet that the council have had to pretend the pigeons have gone to live outside of the town. Janet was extremely distressed once, when a crow was run over by a car near the clock tower. Heaven only knows how she would react if she knew the truth about the pigeons.

God I would hate that. I have a phobia of birds, pigeons in particular, and my worst nightmare would be to be trapped in a train with a pigeon flapping around.

I did once run off a tube train very quickly - metropolitan line I think - when a pigeon got onto the train!

They have you under surveillance.

Be careful OP.

I have a pigeon in my bank account, if that helps?
