Pigeon Quotes

On his childhood One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him.

That probably could have changed the way I fight. View quote

I am touched you hold the lives of Serbian birds so dear, but you are crazy. I will never understand how your minds work. View quote
