A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Happy about airborne rats?
Seriously?
So you believe state propaganda that birds aren't spying drones but in fact rats (which are mammals btw)?
Seriously?
Well, more metaphorically and limited to densely populated areas. I mean, rural pigeons are great!
But their city dwelling cousins are mostly poor beasts, malnutritioned, disease plaqued, often invalid: half blind, missing leg, barely enough feathers to fly even short distances.
On top of that a public health issue. So the rat comparison mostly holds, I am afraid...
And if we are talking about other birds than pigeons - totally different topic!

Bird watching goes both ways

Make fun of me, stay in the matrix. I don't care. One day you will wake up and think of me but than it's too late.
Who are you, a cat?
No, I am the guy that just a few weeks ago got told that he can't open the window of the joint staircases anymore to let out the stale summer heat, because then the pigeons would fly in.
I am the guy that can't use the easternmost quarter of his balcony any more because it is constantly covered under shit from the pigeon-meeting-place above.
I am the guy whose car is covered in off-colour smudges because the pidgeon-piss from the tree above has corroded the paint.
I am pretty sure that most of the people here that like pidgeons would think completely different when they had to live with them in close quarters and have their quality of live noticeably reduced.
Other birds are great, though! We have sparrows, tits, blackbirds, dozens of other types. All great!
Occasionally a pair of crows is visiting. Those are impressive birds! Intelligent as fuck, don't give a shit but stay out of your way if you don't want to interact. And, double Bingo: the pigeons don't like them!
Rats > pigeons (unironically)
Boooooo they are FAR cooler and majestic than rodents
So the more a shame that most times we leave them to their grim fate in the urban hell we brought them to with us!
