Hey, they were mixed into the other rats with wings that were crapping all over the barns I shot in to get duck hunting access. Hang with a terrorist, die like one. That was a few years back.

I think I ended up shooting 480+ pigeons over a few years, plus my partner with about half that amount, and in all we got maybe 8 banded birds. Yes, I tracked the owners down and notified them that fluffy wouldn't be returning home. A few were pissed, but a most of these birds had not been seen by their owners for months or years, so they had indeed gone feral.
