Frankly, I don't think they are THAT intellingent - there's definitely smarter birds than pigeons - but they are certainly very social, friendly and loyal. I like them and I hate when people consider them pests or even hurt them.
My dad cut down a tree in our back yard years ago and two baby pigeons were nesting in it so I raised them until they could fly. The mum and dad were always hanging about so I would put them in the garden everyday in a open box until one day one flew away with the mother. Then a few days later the second one flew. I believe they made a new home in a neighbours back yard and after all these years they still come to my yard for feeding everyday, its the least we can do for destroying their home. They're a big family now, at least 10 of them.
My dad was a pigeon fancier. Those birds are highly intelligent and can be very interactive in our activities. They are devoted to their favorite people. Very good judges of character ❤😊
Its so amazing how they can learn and plot routes. Hate to see the city pigeons cast aside by society, seen as pests and scavenging around humans for food
@@DilbertWhitehead I'm with you. It was in NYC that dad raised his precious birds. He didn't race or use them for competition. He just loved them so much.
I love to hear that Jacob is not only okay with her first priority being animals, he LIKES it. That bodes well for a relationship based on trust and mutual respect for each other's passions 💕
Pigeons have been a major part of human history. They dont get enough credit for their level of intelligence. So much would be different about this world had we not had Pigeons. Respect them!
A pigeon, an animal, suddenly loving your potential life partner could be a sign that he has those deeper qualities of companionship and love that would make him the perfect choice for a long term relationship in the future. Beau tea full
My family rescued a pigeon nearly 20 years ago, we still have that pigeon. He is such a loving bird, plays tough pigeon with us, will sit on our shoulders, he talks to us when he hears us, or we come close to his cage. Love that pigeon, we had 2 other pigeons before that others rescued and thought we were a rescue. Thankfully we were able to find a rescue shelter for those other 2 pigeons.
This is so sweet and you are so lucky to have met a man who embraces your love for animals. I've always said find a man who loves animals unconditionally and everything else will in line.
Avid Bird lover here. I have robins, blue Jays, snow birds, cardinals, blackbirds ,yellow /gold finches and a type of white pigeon , they go through a large bag of bird seed weekly , and bring my heart so much joy♥️ I tell my children I'm going to New York and sit on a park bench and feed the birds there joining all the other elderly women. 😊I can see me doing that . Loved this video 👍thank you
This is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. I rescued two wild doves and they are literally my best friends. I tried to release them but they just wouldn't leave and I am okay with that. Once wild birds take to people that's it. You can't release them. It's very very awesome and heartwarming that you chose to keep her. She seems to be extremely happy and that's all that matters. I'm sure you'll give her a great life. God bless you. There needs to be more animal lovers in the world like us.
I used to work with seabirds. I found Cormorants to be very interactive and have so much personality. I have always liked pigeons. Such a lovely story, this.
Most city pigeons are infected with disease that contagios to humans. With weak immune system, it's very dangerous game to play. Not to mention they feed on the garbage. Unless you are a bird expert, do not attempt to heal a visibly sick bird or take in baby birds. Please. Some people make mistakes by taking in fledglings that are learning how to fly and separate them from the parents.
Rats are also amazing animals, which makes it all the funnier when people makes that comparison and act as if it's negative. I miss my pet rats. Domesticated rats are so loving, cuddly, and smart.
The real irony is, that there are soo many pigeons in history that have achieved more than any of those humans ever will, whether that being important message carriers during wars, revolutions etc saving hundreds if not thousands of lives in the process, or by famous historical and scientific influencers like Charles Darwin using them to explain his theory of evolution. The truth is we will most likely never meet someone who has saved hundreds of people, not to say that it doesn't happen, but statistically you are unlikely to come across a human yet alone a bird who has done that.
Thank you, Amina, for caring and helping animals including sweet Anfisa. Jacob, it's wonderful that you love your family human and bird, for who they are. Anita, thank you for showing me that pigeons are intelligent and loving. 💗
@DiegoConnor-eo1je hello. Everything’s going good. Did an experiment with my latest just finished art project that worked great so now I have something new to recycle.
that s actually one of the parameters by which i judge people s intelligence n character , anyone calling feral pigeons "rats" to me is a low-intelligence empathy-lacking person i don t want to have anything to do with.
I used to catch n release injured or sick pigeons in city I used to work in too..they are very underestimated, they are soo smart n can recognise themselves in a mirror!! They are lovely little birds 🥰
i have a house-pigeon, named horus, & he's in love with my teenage son. horus loves us all & cuddles with us & loves lots of attention. his favorite, though, by far, is my son. pigeons are such smart & caring birds, i wish people would treat them kindly.
Absolutely beautiful video! God bless you and your husband for taking care of, and loving these beautiful babies. I have one myself, and he is just the most loyal bird that I have ever had! And I loved it when you said Anfisa didn't seem like a pigeon, cause that's exactly how mine behaves! ❤
This is so lovely! It's amazing what they do for birds. ❤ I wish people stopped being mean to pigeons. They are victims of a misinformation campaign from councils and pest control companies that has caused so much harm. Pigeons don't hurt anyone, they have very hard lives and they suffer because of our fault.
I'm so glad to hear her say they are family. Animals really can be family members. They're emotionally intelligent creatures that can feel pain and joy and suffer depression and morning when someone in their life dies. Even when all their other needs are met (food, shelter, affection, etc), they still MORN the loss of those they care about. People think that animals are dumb, unintelligent, and just a step up from a "moving rock", but they're so much more than that. Every one of them is an individual with their own feelings, preferences, and personalities. All animals. People prefer to pretend otherwise so they don't feel so bad about paying for their lives to be ended for a meal. A meal that they'll forget about the next day. Animals deserve much more than to end up as poo in your toilet from a five minute meal that you barely remember. Stop paying for the suffering and death of animals - keep them off your plate and choose the vegan option.
I agree with every word of yours. I pray all day everyday for all suffering animals and people. I pray for people to see precious animals with dignity and compassion deserving of all our love and care.
@@ianmangham4570 So what? I still wouldn't put anything above my children either. Irony is your only response being water is wet I suppose is a nimrod response that says "hahaha good for you okay whatever" good one 🤣
@@Phenomental1ty Its called stating the obvious, I made a generalisation, of course if there's no room on the raft for the dog and child then I'm taking the child.🤔 Cowboys 🤠 take care of the horse 🐎 then you can get your head down.
@@Phenomental1ty Putting your kids first is good! Animals are 100% second though lol, our dog means the world to my parents..she's like another child; I personally will always put animals first as I do not want kids, can't really put kids above animals if I have none lol
Anfisa is so beautiful and smart and funny. Thank God Amina saw how special she is and became her mommy. She is an angel to rescue and care for these babies. She is also blessed to have such a loving husband. Anfisa and Jacob play and are love bugs. Such a sweet family.
Anfisa !! ❤ likewise to you & your hubby 😊 You are marvellous being a bird rescuer all these years. Glad Jacob loves Anfisa too & for that love him too😊 Bless you guys 😊😊
That's so cute! I love when she said that animals are her priorities and he accepts and like it! I brote up with my bf from 2 years because he started saying bullshit about my pets. Humans can take better care of themselves than animals!
Is it just me, or does that thumbnail with Jacob and Anfisa look like he has a 'pigeon expression'? I think she challenged him because she saw him as a "male bird" at first, LOL... so of course she falls in love with him after he passes the tests! 😅😆 Congratulations on finding your flock!
"The bird spproved of him, so I married him"
Good call! Animals are always right!
@@injacreatives9680 Not Always
Pigeons are so misunderstood they are beautiful intelligent and very affectionate wish people would treat them with such Love, care and respect
Definitely. Same with all animals and birds really. We moved into their land so it's up to us to help them and treat them well
Absolutely true ❤
So true ! I raised a pigeon as such! ! Loving ,smart and loyal! 😊

I love pigeons more than anything. They are so smart and so beautiful!
I love their rainbow necks and behavior/mannerisms. I like most animals though, they are fun to watch.
This is the way
And so funny when they do their mating dance! lol. 😂❤
thank dodo whenever i am in stress i see these videos and my stress just vanished. 🙏😊
That’s how you know if you choose the right partner: your pet prefers them to you ❤
they married right away lol.
Busy with her pigeon stuff...❤..this is cute!
That’s one happy, content and lucky pigeon.

I never expected to grow so attached to my pigeon she was so affectionate, smart and funny I miss her still
Cute! ❤. I’m glad you had her abs that she got to be a great friend. Sorry she is no longer around. ❤️
Same here. They give so much. They are such characters and affectionate.
I'm sorry for your loss but you'll see her again someday.
You could tell that Jacob loves animals...what a wonderful story, God bless your little family 🥰
