Rock Pigeons are one of the most common urban birds. But why do we never see baby pigeons? Some baby birds — like down-covered ducks, geese, and chickens — leave their nest shortly after hatching and do a lot of growing up while following their parents around. Others, like pigeons, depend on their parents to feed and protect them, well into their youth. They stay in the nest — under bridges and awnings, for instance — until they're nearly as big as the adult birds.

Despite their modern reputation, pigeons were once beloved by royalty. Akbar the Great, ruler of the Mughal Empire in the 16th Century, kept over 20,000 pigeons. Owning pigeons in parts of Europe was a privilege restricted to the nobility. Pigeon ownership became a flashpoint during the French Revolution, when commoners finally gained the right to raise pigeons. Learn more in Rosemary Mosco's book, A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching.

Sherwyn and his twin brother Kendrick was born in Brooklyn before his family moved to Nashville. It was here where he got his first bass, his dad would take him to see jazz shows at 3rd and Lindsley, his older brothers would take him to Limelight, and where him and his twin started making music. Opening for Amber Mark at Brooklyn Bowl back in February was a full circle moment. Before the show, he spoke to us about his journey through Nashville that led him to Los Angeles, developing his sound with his brother and as an artists, building frequent collaborators from PawPaw Rod and Samara Cyn, and his involvement in the new Pigeons and Planes compilation album See You Next Year 3. FOLLOW US:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/wnxpnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/wnxpnashvilleTIKTOK: https://tiktok.com/@wnxpnashvilleFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/wnxpnashvilleBLUESKY: https://bsky.app/profile/wnxpnashville.bsky.social

Humans have used homing pigeons to carry messages across vast distances since ancient times. They delivered military intelligence during wars, business communications before telegraphs existed, and even love letters between separated families. Yet despite our long history with these remarkable birds, one mystery has remained unsolved: how do pigeons always know where home is? Scientists have known for decades that pigeons use a combination of clues to navigate. They can recognize landmarks, use the position of the Sun, and even detect smells carried by the wind. But researchers have long suspected there was another navigation system at work, one that allows pigeons to find their way even when the sky is completely overcast. A new study published in the journal Science may have uncovered the answer, and it's stranger than anyone expected. The compass might be hiding inside the pigeon's liver. Many animals appear capable of sensing Earth's magnetic field. Migratory birds travel thousands of kilometres with astonishing accuracy. Sea turtles return to the beaches where they were born. Sharks navigate across entire oceans. Scientists call this ability magnetoreception, the capacity to detect Earth's magnetic field and use it like a compass. The problem is that nobody has been entirely sure how animals do it. Now researchers have identified something unexpected: specialised immune cells called macrophages in pigeon livers that contain large amounts of iron. Normally, macrophages help clean up the body by removing old red blood cells. Because red blood cells contain iron, these liver macrophages gradually accumulate iron-rich particles. What surprised researchers was that these particles appear to have a property called superparamagnetism. The team discovered that these iron-rich macrophages sit close to nerve fibres inside the liver. That means they may be able to detect changes in Earth's magnetic field and pass that information directly to the brain. To test the theory, the researchers trained 34 homing pigeons to return home from a location 19 kilometres away. Half of the birds were then given a treatment that temporarily removed these specialised macrophages from their livers. The next day, the pigeons were released under completely overcast skies. Every pigeon with an intact liver compass found its way home within about an hour. The pigeons whose macrophages had been removed became hopelessly disoriented. They flew in random directions and none returned home that day. When the Sun came out again, those same pigeons were suddenly able to navigate normally. Their flight ability hadn't been affected. They weren't sick. They simply seemed unable to determine direction when they couldn't see the Sun. The study suggests that pigeons may possess two different navigation systems. The first relies on familiar cues such as the Sun and visual landmarks. The second appears to rely on magnetic information gathered by specialised immune cells in the liver. When one system becomes unavailable, the other takes over. If confirmed, this would be one of the most surprising examples yet of how biology repurposes ordinary cells for extraordinary tasks.

Planned Parenthood lost a major court decision in Florida and it may cost them upwards of $350 million. Many primaries were this week we now know that the State of the Union speeches will be less entertaining. California is trying to jail the journalists that uncover fraud rather than the fraudsters. Billionare Jeff Bezos is changing his toon on Capitalism and Trump. The lead for the upcoming movie Supergirl is trying to make you not want to go to the movie and blaming Christian Dads for the backlash. How do pigeons know how to navigate home? Researchers think they might know how, and you will never guess it.

A new mishnah! On bird offerings - and at what age they are suitable for offerings, depending on whether they are "doves" or "pigeons." What about the transition age? Note that both ages need to be stipulated because logic might steer us astray otherwise. Also, the Torah is specific to prevent us to think that all doves and/or all young pigeons would be acceptable. With key yellowing of plumage making the difference.

Outdoor cats are one of the biggest threats to birds, killing over a billion a year in North America. And indoor-outdoor cats live much shorter lives than indoor-only cats. So keeping a cat indoors helps protect birds. And there are plenty of ways to make the “great indoors” more exciting for your cat. In this episode, BirdNote senior producer Mark Bramhill shares his experience with his cat, Pigeon, who enjoys a ‘catio' — cat-patio — and walks on a leash. This episode was produced as part of BirdNote's “From Love to Action” campaign, an effort to inspire people to take action to help birds.

In America’s first hundred years, the animal you were most likely to see was a passenger pigeon. And you saw a lot of them. Flocks were so numerous they literally blotted out the sun for days and their combined weight snapped the branches of entire forests where they roosted. Yet by 1914, the last specimen, a female named Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoo, marking the complete extinction of what had been North America's most abundant bird numbering in the billions just decades earlier. Early Americans assumed the nation's bird populations were infinite, so market hunters fashioned homemade cannons to blast sleeping ducks by the dozens, "pigeoneers" shipped passenger pigeons by the trainload to city restaurants, and feather hunters shot rare birds worth more than their weight in gold so Gilded Age women could wear plumes in their hats. What followed was an unlikely coalition of bird-lovers like Roosevelt, gunmakers, business titans, and brave game wardens who transformed American conservation. They couldn’t save the passenger pigeon, but they saved other species from extinction, like the Canada Goose and the trumpeter swan. Today's guest is James H. McCommons, author of The Feather Wars: And the Great Crusade to Save America's Birds. We discuss how Roosevelt used executive powers to create the first federal bird refuge at Pelican Island in 1903, why the revolutionary 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act made nearly all wild birds wards of the federal government while inadvertently establishing that federal law supersedes state law, and how conservation success stories including wild turkeys, wood ducks, trumpeter swans, and bald eagles were all brought back from extinction's brink. McCommons also warns that America faces a new crisis reminiscent of the Gilded Age. Since 1970, one in four birds (about 3 billion) in North America have been lost, with backyard species like sparrows, blackbirds, warblers, and finches disappearing as indicator species foreshadowing greater environmental collapse.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Craig Newmark's career, in retrospect, looks like a series of deliberate subtractions: he kept Craigslist plain, stepped aside as CEO early on, gave his equity to his foundation, and now funds people and gets out of their way. His theory, arrived at gradually, is that recognizing your limitations and relying on your network is how you get more done. Tyler and Craig discuss why webpage design has gotten worse for 30 years, what Craig's "obsessive customer service disorder" taught him about human nature, why trusting people and maintaining a nine-second rule for scams aren't as contradictory as they sound, why roommate ads are a better way to find love, why Craigslist never added seller evaluations, why Leonard Cohen speaks to him more than Bob Dylan, what William Gibson's Neuromancer got right about the internet, why Jackson Lamb is now one of his role models, why large foundations lose accountability, what two painful Ivy League grants taught him philanthropy, what he gets from rescuing pigeons, the hard lesson he learned about confronting people who lie for a living, his favorite TV shows and movies, the one genuine luxury he can't go without, what he still needs to learn, and much more.

Comparing a backyard sparrow to a fearsome velociraptor seems odd, but modern birds are indeed living dinosaurs. Scientists are finding more and more connections between the past physiology of dinos and the present physiology of birds.  Joining Ira Flatow to talk about some forgotten species from the past tens of millions of years—think gorilla-sized penguins—is Steve Brusatte, paleontologist and author of “The Story of Birds: A New History from their Dinosaur Origins to the Present.” Read an excerpt from “The Story of Birds” Guest:  Dr. Steve Brusatte is a paleontologist and author of “The Story of Birds: A New History from their Dinosaur Origins to the Present.” He's based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Pigeons, one of the most ancient of domesticated animals, feed their nestlings a peculiar, milky substance, straight from the adult's beak to the baby's throat. It's called pigeon milk, a fat-rich substance loaded with antioxidants and immunity factors that enhance the survival of newborns — much like mammals' milk does.
