I love that! This video looks like the same bird but another trip? Maybe this pigeon is a regular rider?? He sure looks like he knows where he's going!

I didn't notice this at first when watching the second clip, but the pij doesn't seem to be paying any attention to things until the train begins to slow down. He turns around, speeds up his gait and heads towards the door. And of course he lets the gentleman enter before he exits.
Yep! I'd say he knows that route pretty well.

Love it!! I did read somewhere (possibly on this forum) about pigeons using the subway. Apparently they know which stops to get off from! Such smart pigeons!

I just watced the videos over again and the people are different in each video and so I'm thinkin, the Pigeon must regularily commute.

The way some people act, I think they have more going on their brain than many people do.

Just googling this video there was mention that the bird was a regular in Toronto named Henry, maybe the person who took the video?

Great story! I liked this part: "I don't want them to make no mistakes, if you know what I mean.'' Despite his efforts, they make many little mistakes.
LOL that's a very polite way to put it!
