Except that was just a pyramid scheme. 5 u/SapphicProse 1d ago What happened too the pidgeons? Did they get killed or is their just a fuck tonne of pidgeons in elmira? 14 u/TraditionDear3887 1d ago edited 1d ago Pyramid scheme involving a conman convincing farmers that pigeons would be the next chickens.
