Mike Tyson has never hid his love for Pigeons. He even had a TV show about it, “Taking on Tyson.” While many don’t care for pigeons, calling them flying rats – Mike Tyson is all about the little feathery birds. He recently shared his conspiracy theory on the government & pigeons.
Check it out…
Via TMZ:
America’s precious pigeon population is in danger — especially in NYC — so says famed pigeon lover Mike Tyson, who claims the government has launched an evil campaign to get rid of our gray little friends forever!!
Tyson was at LAX yesterday when the conversation inevitably turned to his beloved animals and he explained his conspiracy theory … that municipalities like NYC have introduced falcons to curb the pigeon population.
He’s not far off … according to a government report from 2007 — called “Curbing the Pigeon Conundrum” — NYC officials have used hawks to keep pigeons in check … but that brief experiment ended in 2003 when one hawk attacked a small dog.
There is currently a growing hawk population in NYC, but the report says it’s “a natural resurgence” … even though official groups like the NYC Dept. of Parks and Recreation are actively conserving the wild hawk/falcon population.
