An NHS worker has said she is completely besotted with her pet pigeon who she adopted after encountering her in a pub beer garden.
Hannah Hall, from Nottingham, filmed the unusual moment the bird – who she has named Penny – approached her at the pub and perched on her shoulder.

The video has received more than 22m views on TikTok.
Miss Hall said the reaction had been “quite overwhelming”.
“This whole experience has been really, really surreal,” she said.
She added she had been speaking regularly to a vet about how to care for the bird.
An RSPCA spokesperson said rehabilitating wild birds was best undertaken by somebody with experience.
“Their welfare needs would need to be met in captivity in the same way as for domestic pigeons,” he said.
“This includes regularly seeking advice from a vet and allowing them to have free flight in the house.”

For those not familiar with the world of pigeon racing, the idea that a bird can be sold at an auction for thousands of dollars might sound almost ludicrous.
But even people within the industry were taken by surprise this week when New Kim, a two-year-old racing pigeon raised in Antwerp, Belgium, was auctioned for a record $1.8 million.
“We did not expect the pigeon (price) would go so high,” said Nikolaas Gyselbrecht, the CEO of Pigeon Auction House (PIPA), where New Kim was auctioned.
The price offered for New Kim beats the one paid for the former most expensive pigeon in the world, Armando, sold to a Chinese buyer for $1.48m in 2019.
“We can already say that these record prices are unbelievable because this is a female,” said Gyselbrecht. “Armando was a male. Usually a male is worth more than a female because it can produce more offspring, more children. So it’s very exceptional to have a female for this price.”\
New Kim was bred by Flemish trainer Gaston van de Wouwer, who raised many prize-winning racing pigeons and now, at 76, is retiring and selling all his 400 birds.
The online bidding on New Kim started on November 2 at a bit more than $200 but quickly went up to the thousands as the bidder “Hitman” held off competitors to lead the pigeon. On Tuesday, he stood unchallenged with an offer of $1.5m.
On Sunday, 30 minutes before the end of the auction, a frantic bidding war between Hitman and a bidder named “Super Duper” raised the price for New Kim to $1.8m
Belgium is considered the traditional heartland of pigeon racing, which became very popular in the country in the 19th century.
“There is no country in the world where so many pigeon fanciers live (in) such a high density with each other, like in Belgium,” says Gyselbrecht. “So you have 20,000 pigeon fanciers in a very small country competing (with) each other on a very high level. It’s like the Champions League.”

Why are racing pigeons so expensive?
Pigeon racing’s popularity has steadily dropped since the 1800s, when it found a fertile ground in Belgium.
After World War I, the sport was a common hobby for the working class, but amid higher costs of living and criticisms by animal welfare activists, pigeon racing became less of a common pastime affordable to many and more of a highly competitive sport practiced by a few.
The rising popularity of the sport in China has led to billionaires investing increasingly high amounts of money in pigeons, and driving up the prize money for races.
The most expensive birds in the history of the sport, mostly Belgian pigeons, were all recently bought by Chinese bidders, as in the case of Armando and New Kim.

Scientists found that attaching small weights to pigeons causes them to shoot up in the social hierarchy. The finding is important because scientists often attach trackers to pigeons.

Now a story about what happens when you turn society upside down – specifically, pigeon society.
It turns out there is a social hierarchy among pigeons, and it definitely pays to be the big bird on campus.
Being top of the dominance hierarchy basically gives you preferential access to everything. It means you get priority access to food, priority access to mates.
That’s Steve Portugal, a zoologist and biologist at Royal Holloway, University of London. And contrary to what you may have heard about the early bird getting the worm, in the case of pigeons, it is heavier birds that get all the perks.
So Portugal and his colleagues wondered what would happen if you made lighter pigeons feel heavier. If you beefed them up, would they punch above their weight?
They tested their theory in a captive flock of homing pigeons. They identified the birds in the bottom half of the hierarchy and loaded them up with tiny weights – little bird backpacks, actually.
And sure enough, when I did that, they became much more aggressive, started much more fights and won many more fights as well.
The former head honcho pigeons took notice.
What was fascinating just to sort of watch anecdotally was, you know, they could see that they were a bit like, what’s going on? You know, what’s happening? We’re being sort of – there’s a military coup, almost, against us.
Apparently, they fought back at first. But eventually, among the males, the birds with the little backpacks prevailed.
The researchers say the extra weight might have made the lighter pigeons feel like they were in better shape, like they had more energy to burn picking fights.
Or perhaps they just hunted for food more aggressively than usual because, you know, strutting around with weights meant burning more calories and needing more food. The findings appear in the journal Biology Letters.
Portugal says this research is important because scientists often attach tiny trackers to pigeons and other animals, and that adds extra weight.
They might not be physiologically impeded by them, but they – it might be having an impact on their social structure, their social networks, their group dynamics.
As for the pigeons in this study, once the backpacks came off, the old pecking order snapped right back into place. The lightweights were back to scratching out a living at the bottom of the heap.

A FALCON and a pigeon have been killed in Co Tyrone in what has been described as “one of the most serious incidents of peregrine persecution in Northern Ireland for several years”.
The PSNI were last night continuing to investigate after the birds were found dead at around 10pm in the Scraghey area, near Castlederg on July 10.
It is thought those behind the attack tied up the pigeon and covered it with poison, using it as bait to trap a peregrine falcon.
DUP MLA Jim Wells, also a member of the NI Raptor Study Group, described the incident as “cruel”.
“The vigilance of several members of the Raptor Study Group and the very quick response by the PSNI has revealed what is likely to be one of the most serious incidents of peregrine persecution in Northern Ireland for several years,” he told the Ulster Herald.
“The use of poison on a pigeon to kill a protected bird of prey is cruel, dangerous and totally irresponsible. The peregrine falcon once faced extinction due to the use of pesticides and now it’s recovery is threatened by those who seek to kill adults and young using totally illegal and reckless methods”.
He added:”The research has revealed that illegal prosecution remains a problem in some parts of the county. There are those who want to prevent people living in this area from seeing the fastest bird in the world”.

Filmmaker Michael Bay has been charged with killing a pigeon back in 2018 while filming a movie in Italy.
The Wrap reported that the Transformers director was accused of killing the bird during the production of Netflix’s 6 Underground in Rome.
Authorities claim the homing pigeon was killed on a moving dolly during a take.
Pigeons are protected in both Italy and in the European Union under the Birds Directive, which states it is illegal to ‘kill, trap or trade’ them.

According to The Wrap, an individual who was allegedly present when the incident occurred on set reported it to Italian police shortly after. However, Bay has fiercely denied these claims.
He told the outlet: “I am a well-known animal lover and major animal activist.
“No animal involved in the production was injured or harmed. Or on any other production I’ve worked on in the past 30 years.”
Bay and his legal team have made multiple attempts to have the case thrown out in court.
The director maintains as he has video evidence of the incident, which proves he is innocent.
He said: “We have clear video evidence, a multitude of witnesses, and safety officers that exonerates us from these claims. And disproves their one paparazzi photo — which gives a false story.”
He added: “There is an ongoing court case so I cannot get into the specifics, but I am confident we will prevail when I have my day in court.
While Italian authorities have offered to settle the case with the director paying a small fine, Bay refused as he did not want to ‘plead guilty to having harmed an animal’.
The 2018 flick 6 Underground follows a group of people who fake their own deaths and form a vigilante team to stage a coup d’état against a ruthless dictator.
The film stars Ryan Reynolds, Dave Franco, Melanie Laurent and Corey Hawkins.
And, just like all of Bay’s movies, 6 Underground had a whopping budget of USD $150 million (AUD 216m).
But despite this, it was a flop according to Netflix’s head of original films, Scott Stuber.
“We didn’t feel like we got there on that one creatively,” Stuber told Variety.
“It was a nice hit, but at the end of the day we didn’t feel like we nailed the mark to justify coming back again.
“There just wasn’t that deep love for those characters or that world.”

EPPING – The fate of a homing pigeon that stopped by the Epping police station after getting lost on a flight home to Massachusetts is unknown.
The 4-month-old bird hasn’t been seen since it was released from police custody earlier this month.

The pigeon first arrived outside the police station on Sept. 29. Worried about its safety, police took the bird into custody and held him over night.
Police learned that his owner was Gerry Gaumond of New Braintree, Mass., and that he became lost during a pigeon race that began in New York. He was expected to return home with the rest of Gaumond’s pigeons participating in the race, but it’s believed that he lost his way because he’s young and inexperienced.
Police released the pigeon on Sept. 30 and assumed he would make it home by the end of the day. However, he was found a short distance away and returned to the police department.
A second attempt to send the bird home on its own was made on Oct. 3 when Animal Control Officer Bill Hansen brought the pigeon to Depot Road in the area of the Exit 6 on-ramp to Route 101 and let him go.
The bird didn’t immediately take off. It flew up onto the roof of a house nearby and perched itself there.
Hansen didn’t hang around to see if the pigeon would leave. He assumed it would get its bearings and take off when it was ready.
“The last time I saw him he was sitting on that roof,” Hansen said Thursday.
Police received sightings of the pigeon in the area where it was released days later, but no one seems to know where he ended up.
Gaumond said it’s possible the pigeon could still fly home, but unlikely.
“Every day the chances get slimmer, but you never know. There’s a one in a million chance,” he said.
Gaumond, who races pigeons with his daughter through a club, said he’s had pigeons arrive home two months after they disappeared.
But their chances of survival diminish the longer they’re in the wild as they become easy prey for other animals.
Gaumond will soon begin breeding more pigeons to fly in races next year.
