He will also call for the appointment of a pigeon tsar to manage the population of the birds. In addition, he will recommend looking into further action, including introducing pigeon-killing predators or providing the birds, like New York City school children, with artificial means of birth control. "The people of New York are sick and tired of dodging pigeons and their droppings as they walk around the city," Mr. Felder said yesterday. "The sidewalks, parks, streets and bridges of our City are littered with evidence that something needs to be done. The government needs to take responsibility for this issue and end the free rein of pigeons in our city." According to the Encyclopedia of the City of New York, the Rock Pigeon was originally introduced to the city from Europe. That continent has already experimented with pigeon control measures. In Venice, where tourists flock to St. Mark's square to have their picture taken with the city's famous birds, city officials have taken measures such as removing and killing sick pigeons and placing birth control in birdseed, the Associated Press reported. The mayor of London, Kenneth Livingstone, from whom Mayor Bloomberg is taking the idea of congestion pricing, has called pigeons "rats with wings," and last month instituted fines of up to $1052 on persons caught feeding pigeons in Trafalgar Square, according to the BBC.

63. Pigeon And Dove Information Page All about raising the pigeon and dove species, pigeons and doves for sale, feeding, housing, nesting, and care of the young. http://www.gamebird.com/dove.html

From the Game Bird Gazette Magazine Many pigeons and doves have been bred on game farms and in zoos for hu ndreds of years. Due to the ease with which many of the common species can be managed, their popularity has been steadily increasing. Many are easy to maintain in good health for years, requiring only suitable food and reasonable protection from severe weather. Since doves and pigeons raise their own young to maturity, no incubators or other artificial paraphernalia are required to raise them. The term "dove" refers to the small and medium-sized birds, such as the Bleeding-heart dove pictured at right, while large-sized birds like the Victoria Crowned Pigeon on the Gazette cover shown at the top right of this page usually go by "pigeon." In some species these terms are applied interchangeably. Doves and pigeons are considered to be "game birds" as many species have been hunted and used for food in many of thecountries in which they are native. It is very common for people who keep quail and pheasants to also raise pigeons and doves. The Game Bird Gazette magazine provides information on how to successfully keep and breed pigeons and doves, including pigeon and dove feeding, housing, and other care requirements. You can also find doves and pigeons listed for sale in the

About Smithsonian Websites A-Z Home Encyclopedia Smithsonian ... Science and Technology The Passenger Pigeon Information or research assistance regarding the passenger pigeon is frequently requested from the Smithsonian Institution. The following information has been prepared to assist those interested in this topic. The extinction of the passenger pigeon is a poignant example of what happens when the interests of man clash with the interests of nature. It is believed that this species once constituted 25 to 40 per cent of the total bird population of the United States. It is estimated that there were 3 billion to 5 billion passenger pigeons at the time Europeans discovered America. Early explorers and settlers frequently mentioned passenger pigeons in their writings. Samuel de Champlain in 1605 reported "countless numbers," Gabriel Sagard-Theodat wrote of "infinite multitudes," and Cotton Mather described a flight as being about a mile in width and taking several hours to pass overhead. Yet by the early 1900s no wild passenger pigeons could be found. One of the last authenticated records of the capture of a wild bird was at Sargents, Pike County. Ohio, on 24 March 1900. Only a few birds still survived in captivity at this time. Concerted searches were made and rewards offered for the capture of wild passenger pigeons. From 1909 to 1912, the American Ornithologists' Union offered $1,500 to anyone finding a nest or nesting colony of passenger pigeons, but these efforts were futile. Never again would man witness the magnificent spring and fall migratory flights of this swift and graceful bird.

Join CWBO Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) Probably Once The Most Numerous Bird on Earth It Is Now Extinct The following photographs are of a specimen kindly made available by the Biology Department at Ball State University. General Information The Passenger Pigeon, once probably the most numerous bird on the planet, made its home in the billion or so acres of primary forest that once covered North America east of the Rocky Mountains. Their flocks, a mile wide and up to 300 miles long, were so dense that they darkened the sky for hours and days as the flock passed overhead. Population estimates from the 19th century ranged from 1 billion to close to 4 billion individuals. Total populations may have reached 5 billion individuals and comprised up to 40% of the total number of birds in North America (Schorger 1995). This may be the only species for which the exact time of extinction is known. The Passenger Pigeon was similar to but larger than the Mourning Dove. It had a slate blue head and rump, slate gray back, and a wine red breast. The colors of the male were brighter than those of the female.

Network Working Group D. Waitzman Request for Comments: 1149 BBN STC 1 April 1990 A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers Status of this Memo This memo describes an experimental method for the encapsulation of IP datagrams in avian carriers. This specification is primarily useful in Metropolitan Area Networks. This is an experimental, not recommended standard. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Overview and Rational Avian carriers can provide high delay, low throughput, and low altitude service. The connection topology is limited to a single point-to-point path for each carrier, used with standard carriers, but many carriers can be used without significant interference with each other, outside of early spring. This is because of the 3D ether space available to the carriers, in contrast to the 1D ether used by IEEE802.3. The carriers have an intrinsic collision avoidance system, which increases availability. Unlike some network technologies, such as packet radio, communication is not limited to line-of-sight distance. Connection oriented service is available in some cities, usually based upon a central hub topology. Frame Format The IP datagram is printed, on a small scroll of paper, in hexadecimal, with each octet separated by whitestuff and blackstuff. The scroll of paper is wrapped around one leg of the avian carrier. A band of duct tape is used to secure the datagram's edges. The bandwidth is limited to the leg length. The MTU is variable, and paradoxically, generally increases with increased carrier age. A typical MTU is 256 milligrams. Some datagram padding may be needed. Upon receipt, the duct tape is removed and the paper copy of the datagram is optically scanned into a electronically transmittable form. Discussion Multiple types of service can be provided with a prioritized pecking order. An additional property is built-in worm detection and eradication. Because IP only guarantees best effort delivery, loss of a carrier can be tolerated. With time, the carriers are self- Waitzman [Page 1] RFC 1149 IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers 1 April 1990 regenerating. While broadcasting is not specified, storms can cause data loss. There is persistent delivery retry, until the carrier drops. Audit trails are automatically generated, and can often be found on logs and cable trays. Security Considerations Security is not generally a problem in normal operation, but special measures must be taken (such as data encryption) when avian carriers are used in a tactical environment.

By Dan Koeppel '); // end hide from browsers > Beijing, this drizzly autumn morning, looks like the Beijing I've seen in pictures and movies. A traffic light changes, and cars begin to creep forward, then get swarmed by bicycles. Hundreds of bicycles. Bicycles ridden by middle-aged men in suits; bicycles pedaled by young women carrying schoolbooks in pink plastic rucksacks; bicycles piloted by senior citizens, some wearing smog masks, some carrying tiny dogs in their baskets. I watch one elderly rider, his saddle covered by a grocery bag, glance downward as he lights a smoke, his cadence never faltering. I'm standing atop a pedestrian bridge that overlooks Beijing's second ring road, a bulging rampart around the most frenzied part of this city of 15 million. This is the way it should be, I think. There's no municipality on earth that accommodates, values and relies on bikes more than the Chinese capital.

73. The Passenger Pigeon Contemporary descriptions of flocks of living birds from prominent naturalists. http://www.ecotopia.org/about/pigeon.html

In Memoriam The Passenger Pigeon The last passenger pigeon the world will ever know died September 1, 1914. At the time, the event was little regarded. The onrushing war held greater sway on people's imaginations. But as the years pass, it becomes ever more clear that this death of a bird in a cage, a bird stolen from nature and given the prosaic name of Martha, that this death, in Donne's words, diminished all of us. For the passenger pigeon, once the most numerous bird in North America, was no more, a victim of human greed and our capacity for mindless destruction. Audubon drew a pair of them, drew them from dead birds he shot himself, and showed a pair sharing food. He lived in the heyday of the pigeon, in the great dreamtime, when they blackened the skies of eastern North America. He wrote of their speed, their beauty, and especially of their incredible abundance: "The multitudes of Wild Pigeons in our woods are astonishing. Indeed, after having viewed them so often, and under so many circumstances, I even now feel inclined to pause, and assure myself that what I am going to relate is fact. Yet I have seen it all, and that too in the company of persons who, like myself, were struck with amazement. Birds of America , full text available on the web John Muir devoted a full five pages of his autobiography to these wonderful birds which, by 1910, were extinct in the wild:
