Wake me up when the Britts have a zombie politician problem, oh wait…
Zombie Pigeon, qu’est-ce que c’est?
Coo-Coo-Coo-Coo, Coo-Coo-Coo-Coo-Coo, Coo, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Who had zombie pigeons?
“28 Doves Later”
Experts are worried the infection will spread to the mainland.
that’s not to where this (non)expert is worried the infection will spread.
(“hey, no problem. we already had our zoonotic disease plague for this decade”
uh… that’s not how these things happen)
Yeah, pretty sure the zombie pigeons already took over the Tory party. It’s the only explanation.
I’m really more worried that it might infect other birds. The rats with wings can take care of themselves.
Yeah - sure Kathy. We saw you feeding them!
Char thrice on an open hydroxy brazier, then candy the residue? Or is it that those who don’t twist their own necks off will develop immunity?
Mesquite or hickory?
I’m trying to imagine Trafalgar Square without pigeons if it spreads to England or Boston Common without pigeons if it spreads to the United States. It’s almost inconceivable!
It’s true. They incited a coo.
Passenger pigeons used to be the most abundant bird in North America, until the US happened to it.
My first thought was “great, pigeon rabies,” even though Lyssavirus is not particularly closely related. This is in the same family as measles and RSV. Weird.
Let them all die!
