How to clean a rescued pigeon

lol, definitely missed some important context.

I guess it thought OOP meant “clean” as in how do you dress the bird before you cook it. (As in: “clean a fish” means to filet a fish and prep it for cooking.)

and yet the crypto/AI bros swear that the second coming of AI Christ is here.

I like the idea that these are scientist-monitored birds that you remove the tag from before dressing and eating.

This is a perfectly logical answer to a hunter.

Got this result today

Mind you, today is the 18th. So, thanks a ton

I'm going to build a bunch of cyborgs, who follow orders exclusively via googleAI.

I figure once I release about 4 billion of them into the world, either google stops doing evil shit, or they do REALLY evil shit. We shall see what happens....

If you asked me to clean a bird, this is exactly what I would think of. Though usually it involves removing lead shot, not labels.

That is the culinary answer for the question.

Is it telling steps to cook it

Fun time to remind everyone that pigeons aren't native to the Americas, and were brought over originally by the French primarily as a food source (although also as messengers; carrier pigeons).

"Squab" on a menu is pigeon.

Pigeon = edible bird

Cleaning a bird > preparing a bird after killing it (hunting term)

AI figured the "rescued" part was either a mistake or that the person wanted to eat a bird they rescued

If you make a research for "how to clean a dirty bird" you give it better context and it comes up with a better reply

Pigeons are drones (confirmed)

I mean, if they were actually "clean" and had a healthy diet compared to what they eat in urban areas, they could make an awesome protein source for the budget minded.

It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. They need to pull the plug on this shit and stop beta testing misinformation.

"snap to join" Ah, now it makes sense.

Rescued and into the oven🤦

I find it hilarious that my personal AI, that can run on even a budget gaming PC, is far more reliable than most of these corporate ones 100x the size

How do you get these AI an answers anyway?

For few years now I want to try eating pigeon so this answer might be useful for me.

Don't worry y'all AI will take r jerbs

Be more specific with the question.

"How do I wash a pigeon"

Or put every single word in quotations so it actually searches the whole string and doesn't truncate the query to just 2 or 3 keywords because this is clearly ignoring the "rescued" part.

Beware folks, Ai WiLl TaKE yEr JoOOoObS

They taste a lot like beef.

You take the breasts and fry them on olive oil with a little bit of garlic and soy sauce. Delicious.

I wanted to clean the toothpaste off him, but as soon as he saw me reading these instructions, he flew away. Thanks, Obama.

Free range pigeon quality

Bro, do you even squab?

Meh, pretty easy mistake of context.

Just did the same question. Answer given to me was vastly different:

Cleaning a rescued pigeon should be done carefully to avoid stressing or harming the bird. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you:

1. Assess the Pigeon's Condition

• Check for injuries: If the pigeon is injured, weak, or sick, it's best to seek veterinary help before attempting to clean it.
• Observe behavior: If the pigeon is acting stressed or aggressive, you may need to wait until it calms down.

2. Prepare the Cleaning Area

• Warm water: Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water, not hot or cold.
• Mild soap: Use a gentle soap or baby shampoo without strong fragrances or chemicals.
• Towels: Have clean towels ready for drying the pigeon afterward.

3. Handling the Pigeon Safely

• Wear gloves: This can protect both you and the bird.
• Secure hold: Hold the pigeon gently but firmly. Support its body with one hand and keep its wings close to its body to prevent flapping.

4. Cleaning the Pigeon

• Partial cleaning: Focus on specific dirty areas rather than submerging the whole bird if possible.
• Use a damp cloth: For lightly soiled areas, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the feathers gently.
• Bath for heavier dirt: If a full wash is needed, place the pigeon in the water up to its chest. Avoid getting its head and neck wet unless absolutely necessary.

5. Rinsing

• Rinse thoroughly: If you used soap, make sure to rinse all of it out of the feathers using clean, lukewarm water.
• Avoid the face: Be careful not to get water in the pigeon’s eyes, nose, or ears.

6. Drying the Pigeon

• Pat dry: Gently pat the pigeon with a towel to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing as it could damage the feathers.
• Warm place: Keep the pigeon in a warm, draft-free area until it is completely dry. You can use a hairdryer on the lowest setting if the pigeon tolerates it, but keep it at a safe distance to avoid overheating.

7. Post-Cleaning Care

• Observe behavior: Watch the pigeon for signs of stress or discomfort after the bath.
• Provide food and water: Ensure the pigeon has access to fresh water and a safe, comfortable place to rest.

Additional Tips

• Do not use strong disinfectants or chemicals that can harm the bird's sensitive skin and feathers.
• Limit baths to when absolutely necessary, as frequent cleaning can strip the natural oils from the pigeon's feathers.

If the pigeon seems injured or unwell, contact a wildlife rescue center or avian veterinarian for guidance.
