If you’re wondering why Mike Tyson has a pigeon helping him to solve mysteries, there is a rather easy answer.
Tyson has cared for and bred hundred of pigeons throughout his life, and owns over 350 in an enclave in Paradise Valley, Arizona. His love for pigeons has been well-documented and played a role in arguably one of his most infamous quotes.
“One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him. I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher. I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand he was out cold, convulsing on the floor like an infantile retard.”
