Mysterious Pigeon Abductions in New York

Rumor has it that pigeon or squab is a delicacy, particularly to the Asian community in New York's Chinatown district. This might explain the mysterious ongoing disappearances of many of the pigeons there. These pigeon abductions have also occured in the Greenwich Village area. It's clear from the Youtube link that humans aren't the only ones partaking of this culinary delight.

My guess is that it's confused extraterrestrials abducting them for anal-probe experiments.

What a great way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. It reduces the number of pigeons in NYC (which I underdstand to be annoyingly large) and creates an inexpensive meat market.

if they run out of pigeons we have plenty in Vegas we can send. I do not like pigeons...not at all...they are so bold that my dogs can't even scare them away...
