WATCH: Man with pet pigeon hitches a Tal-Linja ride

Man with pet pigeon hitches a Tal-Linja ride
Aug 11 2021 Share

It’s one of those you have to see it to believe it moments. A man hopped onto a Tal-Linja bus accompanied by his beloved pet. Were it a dog, possibly a cat, no one would have batted an eye. This particular man sat on the bus with a pigeon on a leash, with the bird perched on his shoulder and behaving extremely well. The man himself was completely unbothered, evidently accustomed to having a pigeon on his shoulder. 

The footage garnered some opinions on social media – some delighted at the sight, some bewildered, others concerned the bird might decide to fly away briefly onto some other poor passenger. Whatever the reactions were, it sure wasn’t an everyday scenario.
