I kicked a pigeon today.
For those who are going to get on my case about kicking innocent animals—hold off; keep reading.
I was walking down the street in Brooklyn today when 2 pigeons were right in my path.
One of the pigeons was smart enough to get out of my way. The other pigeon, whether it was just dumb or deliberately trying to be a pain in my a**, decided it would be a good idea to start walking towards me.
I’m not going to change my path EVEN AN INCH to accommodate an animal less than 100 times smaller than me.
No.
So, I kept walking. Unfortunately for the pigeon, this meant taking a size 13 Nike to the bum, ultimately punting it a few inches, getting it out of my way.
Pigeons aren’t afraid of us anymore. We need to instill fear in the pigeons again, or they WILL take over.
I have no regrets.
Until next time,
Michael J. Erickson, CEO & Co-Founder
