Not to be a jerk or anything but how is this an FML? The pigeon got hurt not you

Don't we have a deal with the pigeons??

In all sincerity the pigeon deserves it. He shouldn't of been trying to steal a glue trap.

Kinda hard to free something from a glue trap once it's on there. Most nice if given the time and their whole body isn't stuck, will chew their leg off to get free.

Glue traps are a horrible and inhumane way to get rid of mice, seriously... There are other ways that aren't quite as cruel.

You caught a sky rat!

You caught something at least...just not the planed target

when I was younger my brother and dad decided to put glue traps for the mice invading our home, let me add that my house is always clean we just live near hills where alot of wild animals live. anyways once I saw the trapped mice and how they suffered I asked my pops and brother to please not do that ever again and they didnt. after wards they would catch them in cages and release them again, it did take more time. and they wouldn't come back either! please just understand that its just more humane to not set thise death traps and talk to your family, help them understand that there shouldn't be suffering. after all animals don't know what they're doing wrong.

Hey all. I'll fill you in so you guys can sleep peacefully at night. My brother came home from lunch and was in a rush to head out back. His remote for the garage door wasn't working so he left it open. That's when the pigeon walked in. He called me to let me know and to close the door. I stepped out and I heard what sounded like a bird flapping like crazy. I checked around and I saw the bird's foot stuck on the trap. I had no idea these traps were set (they were under the space of the shelves we have all around) but I fit the pieces together seeing how we had mice problems a while back. I put on some gardening gloves to hold it while soaking the foot with warm water. He moved a little bit more to the point his bottom half body THEN got stuck. I ended up calling the vet and explaining the situation to them to see what they could do or anything else I could do. After the awkward silence, they told me I could bring it in for them to sedate and see what they could do themselves. If nothing worked then they would have to euthanize it. Feeling bad for the little guy I was getting ready to drive there when I remembered we had Goo Gone. I poured a lot on the trap and he managed to get off! He just walked out the garage door and I assume he flew away. I didn't follow it but haven't seen handicapped bird around here haha. Birds like to bathe and it's been cloudy and rainy here in Vegas so I'm hoping he managed to rinse everything off. :)

Also I'm 100% against these glue traps now that I know about them. I so little one time said to myself "poor mice" when I saw the mouse traps they had before using these glue traps and they ended up raising their voice and lecturing me as if I'm throwing the traps away or something. I think I've read it's illegal to trap a mouse or rodent and setting it free outside. Not sure but I'll definitely read up on better methods.
