You can see baby everything else but not pigeons. I have a right to know these things!

It just isn't true that you see baby everything else and not pigeons. You don't see baby sparrows either. Or baby hummingbirds or baby crows. Most baby birds (with some exceptions, like chickens and ducks) are naked and helpless when they hatch. They grow very fast, but you don't see them until they're big enough to fly out of the nest. By that time, they are the same size as adults and are almost completely feathered. So the answer is, you DO see baby pigeons, you just can't tell they're babies.

A human baby. And I'm as liberal as they come. Trees are of course important, whales less so - but they play a vital role. However; humans have rights, animals and plants (largely) do not.

You know, I can look in any direction and see living proof that we are not alone on this PLANET. \n\ngoober.

It's not a fair question. Say I was to tell you that I have a 'purple horned snorkstack' in my backyard.\nWould you believe me? No, of course not, only the terminally stupid would believe such an outlandish thing without proof.\nSame thing here.\nWe do not and will not believe in a magic sky-pixie until we have proof. Or at least some sort of credible evidence.\nIt is up to YOU to provide the proof. Not the other way around.\nThat is elementary logic.

Not something I would want to see.  Just think of the next time you see them in the yard or something.  Yuck!

My pet Emu -Larry- says you are mistaken. In reality birds do not fly. See, you were outside, enjoying a lovely day when you stumbled upon a group of kids playing in the park. What you saw was nothing more than a fowl ball.

The babies are born blind like kittens. It does take awhile but if you are feeding tem nuts, they should be able to see. Perhaps their poor sight is heriditaary.

You could use either universal or existential symbolism for "not all"\n\nExample:  Not all birds are red.\n\nThis would translate to (3x) (Bx .  ~Rx)\nread as "there is at least one thing x such that x is a bird and x is not red"\n\nor\n\n~(x) (Bx -> Rx)\nread as "it is false that for everything x, if x is a bird then x is red"\n\nnote that the existential form uses a conjuction, while the universal form uses material implication (horseshoe).

It is, but its just not news worthy anymore. Here in the UK the DEFRA are still monitoring birds that have died suddenly, particluarly wild birds such as swans and ducks.

Although the "balance" hypothesis sounds logical, experiments have determined that the head-bob of pigeons is rather related to vision.\n\nI'll quote myself (from the answer at the bottom link):\nHead bobbing has been hypothesized to be related to vision.\nWhen a bird's head is still, the images can form on the retina without the blur of motion. \nNow you're thinking: but the head is not still, it's bobbing! \nHowever, this is a visual effect, and in reality the head is keeping immobile, while the body moves. Head bobbing increases the stillness of the head during walking, running and landing. \nHead bobbing is not caused by an anatomical link of feet to neck or something like that; instead, it's synchronized with the movements of the feet, and although this could and has suggested a biomechanical function (balance, like our arm-swinging movements during walking), experiments have proven that head motions are determined by visual stimuli rather than biomechanical or inner-ear stimulation. \n\nThis is from a research paper:\nhttp://www.biomotionlab.ca/Text/TrojeFrost00.pdf

I think you are right. Tazmanian devils are funny little things. I also get a good laugh from hedgehogs. But I think the weirdest looking animal has to be the anteater!!! :-)

no.  they just look at it because its moving. babies are interested in watching anything that moves.  the baby will get bored w/ it eventually and look at something else.

Sounds like you might be part owl.  Or maybe you won't ever have to tell your kids you've got eyes in the back of your head because you can just turn your head all the way around and catch them at whatever they're doing.

No birds, just humans.

They fly and land a lot like pigeons, so I don't think they have a distinctive flight pattern.  At least, not distinctive enough to notice.  It's probably more that it's easy to spot a dove in flight (because it's white) rather than the way it flies.
