A pigeon that travelled over 7000 miles to Australia faces execution by Australian authorities in case it carries diseases.. bit harsh those Ozzie's. Could they not let. Vet check it out and if he is healthy then set him free or maybe give him some bird medicine...

And three days ago it was found that the bird was actually Australian and so was spared according to this news report:

It was , it was like a cartoon in my mirror, big cloud of feathers behind me. I never meant it though but can't say I feel any guilt. I call them flying rats.

Because it might not be a native species, even so it may carry something the bird population has no immunity to

Bit like when the settlers in north america brought over smalllpox

I don’t get it.

The pigeon flew all that way, but instead of flying inland and just casually blending in somewhere (because he can), he reports to customs/immigration control?

Sounds like a bloody idiot to me. Put him in a pie.
