(Sometimes) Pink-necked Green Pigeon

You won’t find this pigeon on the streets of New York City. Meet the Pink-necked Green Pigeon (Treron vernans)! This colorful bird can be found throughout Southeast Asia, where it inhabits forests. It hangs out in small flocks in the treetops, foraging mainly for fruit. Distinguishing males from females isn’t too difficult: Females lack pink necks and are mostly olive-green in color!
A team of scientists is working on a special NYC park bench that will allow me to throw breadcrumbs all the way over to the forests of SE Asia such that the pigeons there can ignore them, but they tell me it will take years.
(still, it makes more sense than Elon living on Mars one day)
I dunno, I am very pro sending Elon to Mars... Sayonara, sucker! 🚀
Pigeons...overcoming gender sterotypes better than human... Go woke birds!
