Whenever we think about the 'ideal' animals to have as pets, we always think about dogs and cats, sometimes hamsters or maybe fish, but… rarely do people think about pigeons. Well, maybe they should. That's the conclusion that we have come to after years of covering stories about animals. Pigeons are heckin' underappreciated as pets.
Turns out that pigeons are a lot like other animals. Pigeons love cuddling with their creatures of choice. Pigeons can be annoying as heck. Some pigeons love bedtime and actually put themselves to bed. And if you think that still, a pigeon won't cause you the kind of chaos that cats and dogs do, think again, because apparently, some pigeons fake limping for attention. And some strike poses whenever they sit on their favorite heating pad. Yeah, we don't get it either, but we think it's adorable.

So much. There is so much about this tweet that we love. Even without seeing the picture - and oh, the picture is instantly iconic - there is so much. The fact that this dove is named "Pidgey", already amazing. The fact that you decided to give her a heating pad… why? But also thank you for doing it.
Absolute icon. Memes for decades. This is one picture that will remain in our minds for a long, long time, we swear. And know that this wasn't even a one-time thing, that she kept doing this pose over and over on her heating pad… gosh, we kind of want to get a pet dove now.
