Oh my God a hawk just ripped up a pigeon right in front of me and totally just sat there eating it

(and @bensonbot)

Pigeons, as much as I hate having to live next to them, are pretty remarkable animals: they’ve basically evolved as the prey animal of the fastest animal on earth, so they’re pretty much 80% chest muscle. That may be why they don’t seem to have any space left over for brain (ever seen a pigeon nest?)

They also have brilliant vision: with four primary colors.
