Yes, but I was always most fond of the T-Rex.

Pidgeons are my second favourite bird. Wonderful creatures. Not so hot on pidgeon males, though. They're douchebags.

It's usually because they forage in the trash (anti-feeding ordinances are partly to blame for that).
They get their legs tangled in wire. Blood flow cuts off. Necrosis. Toe/leg falls off.

They are here too. But the pigeons are usually clever enough to avoid them. It's the necrosis that gets their legs, 90% of the time.

Yeah. Anything that is not going to come off with some vigorous shaking, and that tangles, is liable to amputate a limb.
We were feeding a one-legged pigeon for months. She didn't survive the winter. Without her other leg, she couldn't properly preen herself, so she lost heat.
