I did one similar to this about three weeks ago,
where the
pigeons
came to you to be killed and baked into pies. Pigeon
Pie Delivery Service? |
|
|
Homing pigeons are trained to continually return to a
single location. Nomadic peoples move from location to
location. The pigeons will not just automatically fly to
wherever the nomads are going next. |
|
|
Nomadic tribes are not typically suffering from starvation.
When they can no longer procure enough food, they move
on. |
|
|
Ending hunger will not "solve society." |
|
|
All that said, this isn't the worst idea you've ever come up
with. |
|
|
Obviously any idea that involves animals doing bidding gets a bun from me. |
|
|
//Ending hunger will not "solve society."// |
|
|
No, but drastically increasing it will, eventually. |
|
|
wow [unabbubba], awesome coincidence. I actually was ignorant of your item. I am thinking this is nifty as it replaces "companion predators" with companion vegetarians. With this version of course all the creatures live, enjoying voluntary activity as well. |

|
The eggs could be genetically engineered to taste delicious raw. kind of a puzzle though, thaumatin is sweet tasting protein so I suppose that might work |
|
|
Breed the homing pigeons to be cleverer, noticing the persons camp style, or possibly a visible "flag" they sought out. |

man cannot eat eggs alone - he'd be totally constipated. |

|
//man cannot eat eggs alone - he'd be totally constipated// True, but he could trade them with nomadic pig herders. Or music-festival goers. |

Not if you opt out of society. |
|
|
I think by the second day of eggs I would be ready to
rejoin society. |
|
|
Not that smitten with the eggs either but the idea of
suddenly having doves arriving on my shoulder has a
charm all its own, like being St F of A. |
|
|
Get used to twin streaks of shit running down your back. |
|
|
Nothing like focusing on the positive. |
|
|
Doves that voluntarily start a fire and skewer themselves
over the flames. |
|
|
Well now there's a question; did Saint Francis ever get shat on? ...and if so, was it good luck? |
|
|
Most Catholic priests get shat on at some point,
[2fries]. |
|
|
I envision an advanced race of beings that happens to
think human eggs are tasty. They would train humans to
come in for egg removal surgery... |
|
|
Then use them to breed babies and use up the
unused eggs to breed babies to eat... |
|
|
Human females are born with full stock of eggs. |
|
|
So are most other females. |
