      Hey brother I guess you better address the pigeon situation! Got some people in here super hot about that apparently! Not sure what the issue was pigeon looked great probably was a little confused disorganized and did need some time to recover. Glad you guys did the right thing my man! Your fish died when you were in the states came back and I don't recall him talking anything negative about that situation because it was an accident! Those were dead fish this is a live pigeon and these people commenting on the pigeon are very fussy, very selfishly confused also I can assure you that the pigeon is esteemed and leveled up much higher than the fish according to the way these Believers think and choose to animals in order of importance. Unfortunate

    Pigeon looks to be a Trumpeter pigeon and will have been captive bred. It won't have any concept of 'outside' so probably why it hit the window. It won't survive in the wild.

    And once again, you have this lovely Pat&Mat vibe going. While you're over here, you could see if it might be on TV or something. This stop motion animation is originally from Czech Republic (or formerly Czechoslovakia) and the Dutch dub is called 'Buurman&Buurman'. Buurman is Dutch for neighbour, male form. They're always building something together and it's always in some unconventional way.

    I do so appreciate how you say that it's just a stack of bricks and boards, but you're surprised that it looks good. What do you think aquascaping is? You're just stacking different rocks in different wood. Because to be honest that is the Poshiest, most upscale fish rack I've ever seen.

      Maybe they could've brought it to a vet/wildlife place, it shouldn't be out in the wild like that though if it is a domesticated pigeon

      Yup. He needed help finding a home. He WILL get eaten by something. Whether a hawk or a fox or a cat.

    I've always been curious why you guys don't use black vinyl wrap for the back of tanks. It would be super easy and fast to apply it and you could also just peel it off if you wanted to change it. Just seems like it would be easier than paint. Anyways love the vids!
