That theory won't stand up - you don’t have a leg to stand on!

Well it's certainly true that London's pigeons are the dirtiest, scrawniest, most unhealthy-looking specimens that you could find. If only medical insurance were free for pigeons most of them would be sporting crutches, prosthetic legs and feather-extensions.
As to your percentage though, do you really think someone has gone round the city and tried to do a pigeon head-(or leg-) count? How would he know he hadn't already counted a particular pigeon from Leicester Square that's now relocated to Trafalgar? All sounds a bit feathery to me...

It's definitely true. According to an article in Pigeon Monthly, there are 1, 354,275 pigeons in London and 1,874,734 pigeon legs. So, draw your own conclusion!

at any one time 25% of london's pigeons are asleep and a bird always sleeps on one leg unless it's ill and then it needs to grip it's perch with two feet.

I am providing legal representation for a pigeon who wishes to remain in anonymity. He or she has requested that I inform you that your statistic has to be incorrect. Taking a broad poll of his or her friends and family your figure of 25% is great exceeds the actual more accurate figure of 21%. He or she has found your remark to be greatly upsetting and wishes it to be known that London Pigeons are proud dignified birds and will rise above these or any similar such comments made against them.

A friend has a no legs talking Parrot.
He traveled all over the world and found it, but, it had no legs. He ask the Dealer how he stayed on the perch and the man said he wrapped his dick around it. So, he brought it home. One day he came home and the Parrot say; "You should have been here the mailman came".
My friend ask; "What happened"?
Parrot said; "He was kissing your wife".
Friend ask; "Then what happen"?
Parrot say; "They took off their clothes and laid on the couch".
Friend ask; "Then what happened"?
Parrot say; "I not know, I got a hard on and fell off my perch".
Sorry, just had to tell that one.

hard to imagine they could live with less than 1 leg, but it is true many are hurt and maimed, they have hard lives fighting for food!

its quite possible that that statement is true,
i see quite a lot of them with missing toes and stuff, a few with one leg, and a few smeared on railway tracks
maybe 20%

Maybe...after all, on average humans have less than two legs.

Why do Storks stand on one leg?.............Coz they would fall in the water if they didn't.
I agree with the anti legist contributor.
