Feb 24 2010I Saw Him Jump The Turnstile!: Pigeon Subway Passenger Thinks He's Human
This is a video of a pigeon named Henry riding the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) and exiting at his desired stop. Allegedly it's a fairly common occurrence, as Henry has pigeon and dove bitches all over Toronto. Play on, playa! (Shit on me and I'll kill you)
Thanks to kat, who trained Henry to sit on her shoulder. OMG, please tell me you wear an eyepatch!

It actually is very common... I live across from this station and take the subway all the time and I have seen it
the pigeons in the area also wait for the traffic lights to change so then can walk across the street, standing beside people on the corners

i live close to toronto, and let me tell u, those pigeons can be jerks!
i was riding my bike down the sidewalk one time, and a group of pigeons wouldnt move out of my way!
i didnt hit them, so dont worry :P
but literally, i had to get off my bike and walk it around them!
JERKS!

I once "obtained" a poster from a subway train that had a picture of a glittery green bowling ball and it said, "To prevent marijuana use by your children, teach them to roll this"..... just sayin

@2 Stop. Cease and Desist.
@7 Because there's no way in hell you're going to get 300 whilst baked.
Is it a universal thing that Mentally Challenged People and the elderly are the most common railway passengers? Or are they just more noticeable, through noise and smell respectively.

HOLY COW THAT WAS AMAZING, that pidgeon was not wearing any clothes!
11. Closet Nerd - February 24, 2010 1:41 PM
@7 Does that include Wii bowling while stoned?
12. naas - February 24, 2010 1:52 PM
@7 I saw the same poster, except the caption read 'To keep your kids out of bowling alleys, teach them to roll this' ...and it had a picture of a huuge joint
13. STOMPY - February 24, 2010 1:58 PM

@21 I just started borderlands... do either of the bioshocks have pigeons riding the subway?
24. Closet Nerd - February 24, 2010 2:58 PM
@22 Don't have any games yet. Just borrowed Wolverine & Prototype from my buddy. I ordered Modern Warfare 2 online and should have it by next week.
25. Ollie Williams - February 24, 2010 3:00 PM
@24
It has pidgins riding the subway on the top of a giant walrus.
26. Closet Nerd - February 24, 2010 3:00 PM
DAMN! I just checked and they said i probably won't get my shit till March 4 - March 11.... hopefully it just gets here sooner.
27. Goblin - February 24, 2010 3:06 PM
common? i think not..i ride the ttc every damn day and i've seen no pidgeons.
28. naas - February 24, 2010 3:15 PM
@27 $50 could get you 3 or 4 decent used games from one of your local gamestops, their used games sections have some for $10 - $15 that are usually just a few months old

But did he pay the appropriate fare that covers the entire journey?
33. cyberON - February 24, 2010 8:49 PM
pigeon thinks he's people
34. Larrythefatcat - February 25, 2010 10:26 AM
@35:
Look at 9... then look at all of the posts between that post and your post... then realize why you didn't need to make your post...
After you're done with that, you can do exactly what I'm doing right now. All you have to do is take your hand, with the palm toward your head and put it directly in the middle of your face... you're welcome.
35. cabbo - February 25, 2010 11:28 AM
@36 That action is meant for you; see the name there? Compact flash card? You think that was a post, trying to make a genuine input? No.
36. Larrythefatcat - March 3, 2010 9:31 AM
I have NO clue as to how a 'compact flash card' could have posted a message, but it's gone now anyway... and I, indeed, feel like an idiot!
I still stand by my facepalm... and I'm most certainly not taking THAT back!!
Hey, at least posts 35 and 36 seem like they're referencing themselves in some pointless, confusing way... so I guess that's cool
