Mike Tyson Feels Ridiculous, Yet Loves The Pigeon
January 25th, 2011 - 12:33 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire
Did you know that the first time Mike Tyson gave sounding punch to a guy, it was due to a pigeon, at the age of ten? The man who’s been known to the world as more tough and bad than good, has a big heart and soft corner for the little pigeons. Mike not only does raise a lot of them dedicatedly at his roof tops, but uses his power to protect them from any damage.
His love for this bird species will soon be seen in a show series on animal Planet. Mike has shared that he has been sharing his life’s love with pigeons from a childhood itself, when he lived in Brooklyn. He says that spending time with this bird brings him happiness and peace. No doubt then he spends hours on end with the birds to this day in New Jersey.
While people fall for their mother or small things in life, Mike went in to save and love pigeons. It is ironic that it was another young guy hurting one of his pigeons which made Tyson shoot out his first punch at someone. At that age, one can only love, and not think of violent activities like rape and biting off ears from other people’s body. And yet, Mike grew to be a different person, for the humans.
He’s remained loyal to pigeons at least to this day.
