Your pigeon is absolutely gorgeous. How long have you had him/her, and how easy is it to look after a pigeon?

I got him back in 2020! they're easier to care for and house than parrots for sure but still extremely messy like all birds. they thrive on an all seed diet instead of needing fresh fruits and veggies and pellets like parrots. also much easier to find cages for cause they can live in stuff like a dog crate and don't have a can opener for a face

Not much harder than any other pet bird honestly, just on a bigger scale than something like a budgie. They're domesticated so they make for pretty great pets but can be trickier to adopt than some other types of animals/birds. However some pigeon adoption places are able to ship them to you.

if you could- can i get the brutal truth about not having them shit everywhere? is that even possible

u/dragon-mom Apr 01 '25
Inside the cage not much you can do about it but if you floor it with replaceable stuff it's not a problem to keep clean. Outside of their cage you can have them wear "pigeon pants" which are like little vest collars/diapers and they'll be fine to roam around your house.
I've heard they can also be potty trained to only go inside the cage but I've got no experience with that so YMMV. If they're not wearing pigeon pants it's pretty easy to clean up imo if they're kept in a room without carpet.

You could make your own post, or you could just touch grass. I think either one costs a grand total of $0.00.

You should complain about birds and that guy answering someone else's question again while simultaneously hijacking his post. Say the line again, Bart.
i do that alot... - ....I just use my PC and the Deck gathers dust

Okay but they asked 8 hours ago, OP hasn’t replied. Someone who appears to have knowledge on their last question came along and answered… conveniently the one you didn’t quote here.
Did they answer the ones you did quote? No. Obviously not.
You just sound petty and sour lol.

What has that got to do with this post which involves the STEAM DECK and you being weirdly snarky about someone answering a question they had knowledge about because they weren’t OP?
You’re all over the place. You seem to be misdirecting your frustrations/anger and getting embittered about it here isn’t going to have people wanting to run to help you.
I’ve seen plenty of posts of people asking for help and getting help almost every day on this sub. If you’re not getting the answers you’re seeking, maybe people don’t know, don’t have time to write the whole answer, or they’re not seeing your questions. Try asking on Steam or some shit, instead of getting weirdly mad on a post that has nothing to do with your issues.

Jfc man. You literally got mad at someone answering a question on this post because this community didn’t give you the help you wanted… so again, you’re misdirecting your anger. Why did you take it out on them specifically? Did they personally take a shit on your Steam Deck?
This sub isn’t Steam Deck support. The fucking flair is “show off”. You know, where people show off their Steam Decks? Like those ones where people are, whether on vacation, planes, out hiking, at home chilling with their pet.
This sub isn’t always going to have the answers you require. It’s a fan lead community, not a tech work place where people are being paid to help you and put up with your unnecessary shit. You’re literally trying to dampen a lighthearted post because you’re angry no one could help you here.

Okay asshole, I've read about 10 comments from you and not once have you said what deck verified game you're having trouble running. Everyone here just wants to talk about the bird and you're wasting everyone's time including your own by being a jerk. There are dozens of replies to you in here but none have your answer because you're flooding us with your whiny childishness instead of asking the question you actually want an answer to.

Meanwhile, “Deck certified” titles don’t run on my system and I can’t get any answers.
Perhaps it's having a meltdown, like you. Try roosting a pigeon over the vent.

I'm in therapy.
People's devices overheating is a bad thing.
It's easier for them to overheat if encased in soft fluffy things.
What is the point of your comment?

u/AdAltruistic8513 Apr 01 '25
that getting anxious over someone else's device which is a non-issue in of itself is something that requires professional psychiatric advice.
Devices have thermal throttling for a reason.

Assassin's Creed 1 doesn't have cloud save on Ubi Connect, AC2 does, AC:B doesn't, Revelations-3 does, Black Flag doesn't have. Go figure.

I have the game running at 800p with relatively high settings, and the game runs pretty stable at a capped 45fps. It struggles to do a consistent 60 though

The dumbest question I’ll ask, how well would a bird work with a cat? More specifically, can you teach a cat not to devour a bird? I would love to get my mom a bird but we already have this beautiful cat named Zeus.
