Rolling Pigeons

While discussing birds stuck in window wells over coffee this morning, my friend Bob relates how he had to remove a pigeon stuck in his uncovered window well one time. "Why didn't it just fly out?", we asked, thinking it was hurt or deformed. Once he put it on the ground, it didn't fly, it performed sommersaults. Yeah right, another tall Bob tale. Nope, there is actually a type of pigeon, known as parlor roller pigeons, that don't fly, they roll. Check out this quicktime video to see for yourself.
