“Don’t you touch my baby, Sir! Don’t you f**king touch my baby!”

Video via Charly Zeta

I don’t really think videos like this are cute.

What you’re seeing is a stressed pigeon who is at risk from contracting a potentially lethal bacterial infection from the kittens fur/saliva. A human being put this kitten under this nesting pige for a “cute video.” You should never put a predator and prey species together like this, especially not a baby animal with a hormonal protective bird who could easily peck/injure it. 

Its not safe or cute. This is abuse. 

It’s a stray kitten that crawled under there itself according to the Facebook link that is right there

Stray kittens just don’t “happen” to crawl into a pigeon cage and right into a nest. People lie for internet cute points y’know. Even if it did the person behind the camera is filming and posting a dangerous situation that put the pigeon at risk. Its gross neglect. There’s literally no justification for it. 

Many pigeons will adopt just about anything because they’re domesticated and don’t know any better. Should the kitten decide to claw or nip at the pigeon’s brood patch he could very well end up with a deadly infection. I’ve heard plenty of horror stories about people allowing pigeons to adopt baby rabbits who nearly always end up injuring one of the parents by cutting open the delicate skin of their brood patch.

Never mind this pigeon definitely didn’t adopt the cat. He’s setting on eggs and behavior indicates that he’s very displeased about the kitten being there. The way he pecks at the cat is aggression, not affection. To be clear: this pigeon is NOT protecting the kitten, he has eggs and is protecting those. While I am a pigeon keeper I will tag @ramseyringnecks who has been keeping them longer than I have and can also confirm that This Is Bad.
