Pigeons with THREAD (?) wrapped between their toes/feet

[neilster]

Hey everyone,

For the past few years I've been playing vet, catching pigeons i see who are hobbling, and cutting thread off from around their toes, in between, wrapped their feet, etc... today i had an hour long operation on some good little guy!

question:

HOW THE F DO SO MANY PIGEONS END UP IN THIS PREDICAMENT!?!?!

I'm talking around 1-2%.. that's a heck of a lot of pigeons with black thread around their toes. It's either aliens, pigeons traps, or uhhh.... morgellons?
