Episode notes
Pigeons lay clutches of two eggs. They're not particularly tough birds. So how do, why are there so many pigeons? I have a theory that maybe they just asexually bud and a feather falls off and then a whole another pigeon sprouts around it. In case you think I'm five and just slandering birds, bird cooties are an actual thing. World War I soldiers took the melee word for lice, which was kutu, and mashed it with the species, kut, thought to be real dirty birds.
