A New York City resident, Abby Jardine, is gaining viral fame on TikTok for showcasing her unusual pet—a potty-trained pigeon named Pidge. Jardine found Pidge near her Brooklyn apartment in Williamsburg and decided to take her in after consulting with a wildlife rescue.
Despite initial concerns about Pidge being too young to be out of the nest, Jardine formed an immediate bond with the pigeon. Realizing that pigeons live significantly longer as pets than on the streets, she chose to provide a home for Pidge.
Contrary to common misconceptions, Jardine highlights that pigeons are domestic animals descended from carrier pigeons, and spending time with them reveals their friendly and comfortable nature.
Jardine emphasizes Pidge’s cleanliness, clarifying that vet services for birds are applicable to pigeons as well. In a surprising turn, Pidge’s gender was revealed when she laid an egg, making her a female.
The TikTok videos showcase Pidge accompanying Jardine on various adventures, including subway rides, fine dining, and enjoying pigeon watching.
Pidge’s unique ability to be potty-trained sets her apart, adding a quirky twist to the story. The TikTok videos have garnered millions of views, with viewers expressing fascination and admiration for the unconventional yet endearing pet.
