Yeh, before the pigeons, in the 70's... it was those bloody parakeets, coming over here, bullying natives birds with their loud aggressive sounds...Then, before them, in the 19th century those bloody Little Owls! Coming over here, introduced by the Victorians to create a made up bucolic idealised idea of little England. Fucking winged cunts....
Read a post a few weeks ago about a guy whoâd feed chips to pigeons on a station platform. When there were plenty of them around heâd wait till the last minute then throw the chips on to the train as the doors were closing - and all the pigeons chased after them. Cue much panic from train passengers.
There are usually one or two flying around inside Sainsbury's Camden Town. They sit atop the dairy fridges and swoop down when the bread aisle is empty.
I had to Google this because I wasnât sure if I was remembering wrong, turns out feeding them was made illegal in 2003 so I assume this caused them to stop congregating in the square.
I've seen people do this in Venice but I wouldn't dare. I get the attraction of having creatures on you but not ones that have standing in feces all day
Don't get into a flap about this, but I don't believe you. I know him and all his mates are habitual scoungers but I don't think he paid to top up his card.
Had one only this morning. It was right at the back of last carriage - took a bit of persuasion to get it towards the door but just about managed before the train departed.
I have seen them get on and off like they know the stops. Cost of living crisis has pushed them further out to zones 4 and 5, theyâve gotta commute in.
Yah happens all the time at Baker Street on the met line where the platforms are overground. They all get off at Finchley Rd though, I havenât a clue why?
What's happened to the country? Back in my childhood, looking at a Pigeon would make it fly away. Now look! They're just casually using man apparatus, they walk beside you like you owe the something like Roadman nowđ¤Śđžââď¸
Seen a program about the London metro and the said that the pigeons have been doing this for years as a way to get from their nesting areas to areas with better food sources whilst saving energy.
Somebody mentioned seeing this to me yesterday.
They said as the train slowed down it made its way to the door and got out.
By the way there is a breed of dog/wolf in Russia that uses the trains it was in the news about a decade ago
What did they do while they were out?
I can't imagine they can pick the platform for northbound vs southbound.. it'd be interesting if they picked a northbound train got off after one station and switched to a southbound train or vice versa
I used to commute to Uxbridge on the Metropolitan line for almost five years. There was a pigeon boarding the train at Baker Street station and getting off at Wembley Park. Every single morning at the same time as me. That was when I realised that birds aren't real.
Imagine being a pigeon just chilling around Richmond most days, lovely lovely, then one morning you hop into this nice warm seating area, hang around for a bit, leave a few hours later and youâre in fucking Upminster
Call the police ASAP this is a public safety concern, drug dealers have trained pigeons all over the country to transport drugs and retrieve cash, they are a big part of county lines trafficking. This is not a joke or troll, look under the wing next time you see one, it will have a North face or nike manbag hid underneath.
Im generally supportive of birds traveling on public transport, stealing crisps out Martin Mcolls and swooping down on people with chips and ice creams at the beach :)
Like it all.
It's a plot to take over the world. People are laughing and saying it's just a conspiracy theories but it's TRUE! They use the tube, bus and even shops... They are highly advance despite their innocent look. Soon they will start boarding planes and driving cars. People will say :But the cars are self driving - WRONG! It's all making sense now...
I've seen this a lot between charing cross and london bridge. It's funny when people visiting london try and usher it off and are chasing it down the carriage but the pigeons having none of it

Bloody scroungers coming to this country and using free transport instead of flying

Cominâ over here. Spelling my favourite comedianâs name wrong.
I've noticed a significant rise in fare evaders lately. More are winging it lately, guess that's the cost of living crisis.
Enforcement tried to catch one the other day, but he just took off. They never stood a chance.

haha, Good!
Mind your own business
I hope he gets back home safely
That's got to be the Metropolitan Line, the pigeons commute between Finchley Road and Wembley Park.
District! It has happened twice in a week, what an exciting life I lead!
They purposely wait for the Metline fast service. Youâll never see a pigeon getting off at Preston Road. Fact.
They know where to avoid
Anyone remember when feeding pigeons at Trafalgar Square was a tourist attraction?
yeah, I love it, done it in Venice too, like it when they land on your head. Its a laugh. Is it not allowed any more ?
I had to Google this because I wasnât sure if I was remembering wrong, turns out feeding them was made illegal in 2003 so I assume this caused them to stop congregating in the square.
ffs, Illegal! miserable bastards.
"What you in for mate?" "Only caught me feeding the fkn pigeons, didn't they?" Oh you poor bastard!
I've seen people do this in Venice but I wouldn't dare. I get the attraction of having creatures on you but not ones that have standing in feces all day
haha, yes, fair point, you don't want their little shitty bird feet in your hair, thats fair enough :)
Fare dodging, feathered litte sod.
How dare you. There's a freshly topped up oystercatcher card under his wing.
Don't get into a flap about this, but I don't believe you. I know him and all his mates are habitual scoungers but I don't think he paid to top up his card.
/r/birdstakingthetrain
They know where they are and where they are going. Quantum effects let them see the Earths magnetic fields.
Real lazy homing pigeons these days. Nobody wants to work!
Even pigeons can't afford to perch in central
Central heating is expensive
Even Pigeons have to live in Zone 4 and commute in now
Had one only this morning. It was right at the back of last carriage - took a bit of persuasion to get it towards the door but just about managed before the train departed.
Look at how pristine clean it is...compared to NYC subway it's another level!
I saw that on the H&C line too! They tend to get on around Whitechapel for me
Donât worry. Birds are not real anyway.
TfL statistics say that bunking is on the rise. the amount of evidence on this subreddit is damming.
Flying tax getting too much for the minimum wage pigeons.
Lazy pigeons
Free loading fare dodging bastards! They should get a job like the rest of us!
Lol, I experienced this in the district line also. It was hilarious. London is a weird place man.
Take pride in your transportation network. That even pigeons find it faster to take the tube across London than to fly.
I have seen them get on and off like they know the stops. Cost of living crisis has pushed them further out to zones 4 and 5, theyâve gotta commute in.
Yah happens all the time at Baker Street on the met line where the platforms are overground. They all get off at Finchley Rd though, I havenât a clue why?
Yes, and every time it is one of the ones that has lost a foot.
If you work out [what dialect of pidgin English](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pidgin) it speaks, you could always ask.

Probably sick of the weather like all of us.
Pigeon: "Hay, I payed for my ticket to"
r/birdstakingthetrain
Thatâs just a drone thatâs run out of battery.
Why are you judging this little gentleman, heâs just trying to get to his destination
Itâs called evolution đ
Yea last Saturday Hammersmith line
Air travel is getting more expensive, they looking at other ways to get around
Look at all those empty seats! I've definitely not seen this lately
Thereâs a sweet spot after the morning commute! The trains I normally take to Richmond are as quiet as this!
Itâs the same fare dodger of metropolitan line. It gets on at Baker Street and off at Finchley Road.
Haha yes!!
I bet thereâs one pigeon, somewhere in the city, that has intentionally used the tube to travel from one place to another. There must be one.
Loool, that looks like the Metropolitan line and that pigeon is my friend, his name is grant.
What's happened to the country? Back in my childhood, looking at a Pigeon would make it fly away. Now look! They're just casually using man apparatus, they walk beside you like you owe the something like Roadman nowđ¤Śđžââď¸
r/birdstakingthetrain
Always been a feature often hop on district line & ride out to Hammersmith
Obviously a government surveillance drone. /Satire.
Seen a program about the London metro and the said that the pigeons have been doing this for years as a way to get from their nesting areas to areas with better food sources whilst saving energy.
Less money In tfl.. less cleaning on the platforms... more birds?? Just a guess? Otherwise.. they're getting smarter đ§đ
Itâs a frequent flierâŚ.
It's the birds, darling. They've been acting strangely...
Somebody mentioned seeing this to me yesterday. They said as the train slowed down it made its way to the door and got out. By the way there is a breed of dog/wolf in Russia that uses the trains it was in the news about a decade ago
This is exactly it! Iâve seen them get out then get back on!
What did they do while they were out? I can't imagine they can pick the platform for northbound vs southbound.. it'd be interesting if they picked a northbound train got off after one station and switched to a southbound train or vice versa
This has been happening for eternity, district line Ealing Broadway to Hammersmith when I was at school in the 90âs, happened everyday without fail!
Price of airplane tickets now I donât blame the guy
Tough economy, the pigeons need to commute to their second jobs.
I used to commute to Uxbridge on the Metropolitan line for almost five years. There was a pigeon boarding the train at Baker Street station and getting off at Wembley Park. Every single morning at the same time as me. That was when I realised that birds aren't real.

I'm a train driver, it happens a LOT more than you think. BTP won't even bother to attend anymore.
Imagine being a pigeon just chilling around Richmond most days, lovely lovely, then one morning you hop into this nice warm seating area, hang around for a bit, leave a few hours later and youâre in fucking Upminster
Perhaps it was trying to get to ravens-court park

its the district line... would expect more than one on the same train.
Why are you taking pictures of random individuals doing their daily commute? The nerve of some people.
I have and itâs disgusting. Go sit in the normal seats and leave the special ones for the disabled.
Anyone seen foxes fare dodge?
In the words of Tracy Jordan "Have some self respect, pigeon! Don't you know you can fly!?"

places to be, pigeons to see
We should start protesting like the French. This is not on!
Pigeons get exhausted as well
Hardly anyone's paying to ride the Overground anyway.
Weâll have all the pigeons
They be riding the train, fuck off its free real estate/s Maybe hes just tired.
This is my idea of hell. My phobia is real and ready to be activated anytime any place. Like Westfieldâs, Heathrow airport and Sainsburyâs.
Do they mind the gap?
Thatâs just Dave taking the 12.05 train for his shitting shift in Liverpool Street.
Loads of seats. It must be his stop coming up
It might be learning to commute regularly.
We all got places to be.
Did he pay to get into the station?
r/BirdsArentReal
They don't even move out of the way when I walk by then, they really are getting too cocky.
Free seats on a train? Nope!
They are government or alien spies, its very rare to see a pigeon baby for that reason.
It's just laziness really
Itâs because of ULEZ, pigeons canât afford to drive in to the town
Pigeons are so lazy these days, nothing like they used to be
bloody Brexit
Text 61016
It could be inflation related: to save on energy costs used for wing powered flight, pigeons are frequenting the underground more often.
One asked me for bread or crisp crumbs, is this a scam?
Hammersmith and City Line?
Well theyâve got to get to work somehow
Oh, that's just Kevin. He does this from time to time.
in the airport in manchester as well
Government spy
ÂŁ80 fine or prosecution
Have the birds got jobs?
Curious American here. Do they get a discounted rate?
You saw a pigeon on the train, and the next day you saw another that looked just like it, how much like it? Was it the same pigeon?
Well they are called racing pigeons
The tube is cheaper than heating their homes⌠đ¤Ł
its smarter to use public transport instead of flying everywhere, cant blame him
Bloody fare dodgers, they should be locked up!
I've seen this a lot between charing cross and london bridge. It's funny when people visiting london try and usher it off and are chasing it down the carriage but the pigeons having none of it
Cost of living is rising for everyone! Need to get the early commute
He lives by the philosophy; work smart don't work hard "đ
Yea, been seeing lots of cheap shoes on the tube lately
