A team of students from the Shristi Manipal Institute of Art and Design was given a task to research on Animal-Human Interaction where they contacted our club KRPC and collaborated with one of the Youngest Fancier Satish and here is the result of the article
Satish, a software engineer from Bengaluru is also a Pigeon fancier and
pets Pigeons, about 60 of them on his terrace. These pigeons aren’t trapped
but domesticated and cared for as if were a part of him.
He says “ I cannot speak to them verbally, but if I take care of them, they
eventually start believing I’m someone whom they can trust, to whom they
are willing to navigate and come back from thousands of miles, with whom
they have a sense of home.”
Imagine, waking up every morning to see all those pigeons take
off into thin air, flying in absolute joy and speeding in circles.
When they are done, they come back to you, pecking you for some
food and water.
It was something so usual for Satish..
“THEY HATE RAGI"
But it’s good for them says Satish in a mother’s tone
BATH TIME NO VISITORS
IN REMEMBRANCE
“I had tears in my eyes that day, before I could even go near him, he was dead. I saw his neck snap right off in front of my eyes”
Satish talking about a pigeon that he lost as it rammed into a cable wire
THE
FIRST
STEP
“You’ll have to be very careful when you handle the
squabs, they could instantly die if you put the feed
into their lungs.
They have taught me a lot of patience, I cannot throw
them if they dont listen to me right?” It’s like they
are a part of me”
