me, crying: you beautiful misunderstood creature. you are so intelligent and loyal that my species domesticated you to communicate with each other long before the wonders of instant messaging were ever invented. you’ve saved lives, connected lovers, family and friends, and brought good news to those who need it. many have forgotten your contributions and now consider you a pointless nuisance, kicking at you as they pass by and turning your places of rest into hostile environments with spikes and traps and poison, but despite this relentless opposition you continue to stubbornly exist and fearlessly gather at my feet, hoping that i’ll be kind enough to share my bread with you today.
the pigeon i’m talking to: hoo *shits on the sidewalk and flies away*

The greater blue-eared starling or greater blue-eared glossy-starling (Lamprotornis chalybaeus) is a bird that breeds from Senegal east to Ethiopia and south through eastern Africa to northeastern South Africa and Angola. It is a very common species of open woodland bird, and undertakes some seasonal migration.

I think you are doing life the correct way my friend you only learn songbirds look at stars once after all
