Yesterday, a friend found a dead pigeon at the Stouffville reservoir. It had a leg band #156167 reading "Strathclyde Genetics 2006 A. Galbraith. This may be connected somehow to Pigeon King International which has been in the news as a possible ponzi scheme. Anyone with any ideas about this?

I have no info and am no help; all comes to mind is several counts of "just when you thought you heard it all"...

I should have figured pigeons were in on a (biological) ponzi scheme-- accounts for their reproductive rate.

I wonder if his children were a result of "genetic experimentation" as well?
