Drowning them in the trough was more humane?

I'd definitely be interested in hearing about this one too.

Grew up in KW (as the area is known.) PKI was all over the news. Thanks for sharing the story! Very glad we’re known for being a tech town and Oktoberfest instead ;)

If you take any suggestions for future podcast i have one that somewhat relates to this one. It's the ostrich & emu crazy the was supposed to overtake beef & how so many lost their shirts.

I certainly hope so, as releasing large quantities of non native species can do massive damage to any ecosystem
Maggie Donovan
I'm confused why they couldn't just release the pigeons after everything went down - was that illegal to do?

I'm soooo excited to listen to this episode. I signed up to patron just for this episode. In the 2000s I worked at an accounting firm who had clients who had been swindled by 'the pigeon scam'

I know a guy who races pigeons. It’s very interesting.

I’m so late to this party, but as someone who used to raise pigeons (as a hobby, not for profit) this broke my heart. I never knew this guy existed. I’m pretty shocked at the idea of a pigeon Ponzi scheme. Thank you for the story.

If this is how we start 2021, I wonder what's in store for the new season!

I like how an initial investment in a breeding pair of pigeons could be quickly “re-cooped”.

I like them 😭😭😭
Greg Howes
As an amateur ornithologist, Pigeons really do have good taste
KatieK
Oh no! I haven't listened yet. Now I'm wondering if I should. I have a soft spot for animals.

I just listened to it. So sad. I meant it was a treat to get an episode.

As someone with a very beloved parrot and a passion for birds..... This destroyed me 😭
