So I live in a cheap apartment. Like, really cheap. The kind where the door is optional and the bathroom lights flicker like a horror movie. But hey, rent is rent.
One day I leave the window open, and a pigeon flies in. Doesnât leave. Just sits on the couch like he pays bills.
Day 1: I yell, âShoo!â He stares at me like Iâm the intruder.
Day 2: Heâs still there, watching Netflix. My account.
Day 3: He eats my chips and leaves crumbs everywhere. I confront him.
He coos. Passive-aggressive.
So I name him Dave.
Now Dave thinks weâre roommates. He poops near the Wi-Fi router. ON PURPOSE.
When I ask for rent, he flaps his wings like,
âThe economyâs tough, bro.â
I try to kick him out. He invites three more pigeons.
Suddenly itâs a co-op.
They throw a party. One brings his girlfriend. I walk in, and theyâre making out on my toaster.
I call animal control.
They arrive.
They see Dave.
They salute.
âSir,â the officer whispers, âthis birdâs got connections.â
I say, âWHAT connections?!â
They just drop a card that says:
âPigeon Syndicate. Est. 1842. Loyalty. Poop. Revenge.â
Now I sleep on the floor while Dave has the bed. He even set up a pigeon-only router called BirdFi. Password: âCOO1234â.
And last night?
He ordered pizza. With MY CARD.
The delivery guy said, âYou the one with the angry bird roommate?â
I said, âYeah.â
He just nodded and said, âGood luck.â
