HA, I won't be doing that anytime soon! I once met a Harley rider with a rooster copilot that would sit on his shoulder. The poop down the back of his jacket was rather disgusting. :shocked:

I had such a crush on this quirky goth girl for like 3 years, one of her kooky things was she owned a duck as a house pet. I finally went on a date with her and when we went back to her places there was just free-range duck shit all over the house... I swear I almost tore the hinges off the door running away.

Years ago stopped to check on a guy that was at the side of the road on his Honda 750. No problems but had a pigeon that rode on top of the tank. He had a piece of carpet attached to the tank for the bird to hang on to. He was on a trip and said the bird went everywhere with him.

Despite being considered flying rats in most cities, pigeons can be very intelligent and loyal animals. My grandfather raced homing Pigeons, and I always had a 'pet' pigeon growing up. One of my favorites was a Modina Pigeon named Alice. She was a decoy pigeon trained to fly straight for the homing pigeons returning from a race, and lead them in to the coop quickly. Otherwise, they may just circle a while. Faster returns won races. Was a great hobby, though my grandmother always griped that the pigeon coop was larger than their house ;-) He had over 300 at some points.
She went with me everywhere, would fly and follow me throughout the day and come with a whistle to sit on my shoulder, and would sometimes ride there when on my bicycle. Her favorite thing was to squeeze into my jacket and poke her head out of the collar right under my chin. When I went of to college, I had to leave her with my grandfather in his coop. When I would go home, she seemed to know I was coming because my grandfather said she would act up and get agitated till he let her out. She would wait in the yard and dive bomb me when I got out of the car and try to climb in my jacket. After college and working, I wasn't able to take her and once after not being able to visit for 2 years, she still remembered me. She hatched a bunch of eggs, and lived almost 20 years. After I started having kids, they got one of her offspring. Good memories.
