That is one powerful pigeon, keeping that escalator running all by himself.
I guess the hamster was on break.
HAW!
Or the rowing guinea pigs??
Even birds know when they need 2 exercize. Stay with it dude !
Killer step aerobics class
This is why people trash their New Years Resolutions.
Yeah, I’ve got a feeling this pigeon is about to poop out on this particular resolution.
Do I detect another poop theme here? Where’s skippymom?
Right here! Poop, poop!
LOL. Have we worn out the poop joke yet?
I know I’m damned tired of it.
Imagine seeing this on your next trip to the mall.
there’s something so irresistible bout goin up the down escalator…
Or in this case… going down the up escalator =)
This pigeon is unwittingly reperforming groundbreaking science from the late 70s!
In this study, pigeons were put on treadmills to see if they bobbed their heads or not.
(Pidges always bob their heads when walking-is it physiological or related to vision?)

Pidgees on treadmills didn’t bob their heads, suggesting head bobbing had to do with keeping the eyes stationary so they had longer periods of time to observe their environments! This pigeon doesn’t seem to be bobbing much either.
Wow! Imagine knowing that.
*very impressed with this tidbit of knowledge*
Oooooookaaaay…..That pigeon just may be a few feathers short of a headdress.
Agreed, lol! I wonder when the poor thing finally realized this was not a place to perch.
Maybe he thought it was a game!
Just think of all the statues out there laughing at the pigeon….
Did the pigeon blink?
Is he doing is cardio training ?
I love the guy in the background who is all “Are you guys seeing this?!”
There is a reason why when you do something not too bright they say you’re a bird brain.
Apparently Youtube has deleted not merely the video but the entire account; however, I assume this is the same video. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4033576/Pigeon-in-a-flap-over-escalator.html (the title is the same). I notice on that Sun webpage, to the left of the video, is a caption reading Mystic Meg. It was mystic that when I went looking for something posted on Meg’s site, I saw her name.
Yes, that’s the one!
That new law “Stop Online Piracy Act” (SOPA) is just going to far!!!! It looks like in future sites like CO will probably not be able to show/embed videos from 3rd parties anymore. Just read the whole thing and you know what I mean.
Grrrr.

I doubt that it’s going to apply to kitten and puppy videos, it’s for TV shows and movies and music and illigal commerce. No one is losing money when someone is reposting cute videos so no one cares.
Of course it will affect “cute” videos Proof? This videos been pulled!
it will effect the very workings of the internet, cute vids or not. Under SOPA CuteOverload could be pulled ENTIRELY if it happens to post a video with even copyrighted music or picture in the background. Not to mention facebook, youtube or your other favorite sites.
We have to fight this one, guys! CO join Reddit and blackout for a day!
SOPA hasn’t even passed yet, this was pulled under the old copyright laws. Imagine how much worse it will be with SOPA
@Michael – thanks for that alternative link. That is quite hilarious.
