Man Falls Off Ladder After Stealing 40 Pricey Pigeons With A Bucket On His Head

Miami police are looking for a man who stole pricey pigeons from a store while wearing a bucket on his head. The store’s owner says the same thing happened in May and if it continues, he’ll be out of business. Surveillance footage shows the robber searching through cages inside a gate before he finds the birds he wants. He collects the animals in one enclosure and then sets up a ladder to escape. Outside in the parking lot, he climbs a fence before falling off a ladder with the birds in hand.

Pigeons too are characters in Parava

Actor-director Soubin Shahir’s directorial debut Parava has not just humans, but also birds as significant elements in the story. “As the  title says, the movie has birds, especially pigeons, in many scenes,” says director Soubin Shahir.

“Not just the birds, Parava is about every living being,” added Soubin.   “Though we have started shooting, it is too early to discuss the plot in detail,” added Soubin. Parava, shot in and around Kochi, is a comical ride with tinges of adventure. The story revolves around a group of children.
Parava will be produced by Anwar Rasheed. The movie has Shane Nigam.

The real time of nature: Pigeon

In my apartment, there is a picture window that looks out on the Glennland Building, a half-block to the east.

There, in late spring, two pigeons built a nest in one of the air-conditioning vents. It has been a pleasure to look out at their progress in this and, finally, at their expeditions to find food for their babies.

Meanwhile, the president, commenting recently on police killings, mentioned the anxiety and tension caused by the 24-hour news cycle.

In fact, some of the reporters claim their work is now reaching the immediacy of real time.

But truly this is not so. All of these machines, starting with the book, give only abstraction and an aid to memory. For me, at least, the “real time” very quietly is watching the pigeons down the block. In that quiet you can then look up, see the sky, find the ground beneath your feet and so have the confidence to act if action is required.

Now the book-internet development offers a kind of very important liberty. It may be a harbinger of the united world as a fulfillment of that liberty. But you must be weaned of it to use it or it might swallow you alive.

So I say real time is not in these fascinating marks on paper or in sounds from cellphones, but in quietly looking out the window and enjoying the pigeons.

They tell me this is true, and asked me to tell you as well.

Uptown woman fined $3,000 for feeding pigeons

– Residents of the city’s North Side Uptown neighborhood said it’s not that they have anything against birds, but when it’s this many birds… Yeah, it’s a problem.

“It’s nice that she feeding pigeons, but she’s creating a home for them and there’s hundreds of them,” Uptown resident Peter Wood, said.

There is 2012 cellphone video of Young Kang, better known as the “pigeon lady” of Uptown.

For years she has run afoul of city laws banning the feeding of pigeons and last week she was ordered to pay the price.

A city administrative hearing judge found Kang guilty of 10 ordinance violations and ordered her to pay $300 apiece. All in all, a total fine of $3,000.

It came after frustrated property owners installed a surveillance camera aimed at one of her favorite spots and documented Kang feeding the birds on multiple occasions.

“I see her coming along every so often,” Wood said. “She comes around 8:30 at night. Just kind of quietly slips in, throws some rice on the grass right here and then disappears.”

What doesn’t disappear, residents say, is the pigeon poop left behind on cars, sidewalks and buildings.

“My car is parked right by there where she drops it every time, so I got bird droppings all over my car, you know?” Wood said.

Other residents said they’ve seen an influx of rats and raccoons because of the food left on the ground.

This isn’t the first time Kang has been in trouble.

In 2012, Ald. James Cappleman (46th) told police Kang assaulted him when he tried to clean up her bread crumbs, prompting the City Council to raise the fines for illegally feeding birds.

We couldn’t find Kang to get her side of the story but residents are hoping this latest big fine will finally force the pigeon lady to fly the coop.

“I don’t want any harm to come to the woman who’s doing it. I know she’s doing it out of the goodness of herself but it needs to stop,” Anne Marie, an Uptown resident, said.

Thief with bucket on head stole pigeons from Florida store

MIAMI, Dec. 14 (UPI) — A thief broke into a Florida business to steal several high-priced pigeons while wearing a bucket to hide his identity.

Surveillance showed the strangely disguised burglar, dressed in a trash bag, pilfering the expensive birds from El Viejo Lazaro Botanica in Miami despite security cameras and barbed wire, according to WSVN.

“People are crazy. People know I have security cameras,” owner Nelson Hernandez said. “People know I put the wires. More security, and these people don’t care.”

The brazen robbery was the second time within a year burglars had target the store owned by Hernandez and his wife Mae.

“I don’t know what’s going here in Miami,” she said. “People don’t have respect for anything.”

Hernandez said the most recent robbery saw the bucket clad thief make off with 40 racing pigeons valued between $100 and $1,000.

“If this keeps happening I will be out of business,” he told the Miami Herald.

The clumsy thief was seen tumbling over a fence surrounding the store and potentially causing harm to his stolen cargo.

“These little pigeons, he breaks the eggs and everything. It’s animal abuse,” Hernandez said. “The way he took the pigeons was very rough.”
