Turned out, the pigeon was a pet and the woman was sobbing on the phone about this pet pigeon. I was told that I would get charged with an avoidable if UPS had to pay for a replacement.

She calmed down an hour later, no replacement needed, no accident. I still hear about it.....

LOl I once ran thru a whole pile of them.There was nothing but feathers every where.I think they are the most nastiest of birds with the seagull in 2nd.Also a pet pigeon,how gross.

I was attacked by a wild tom turkey once....there was a flock of them roaming free on the customers property, and he would feed them and shoot one every once in awhile for dinner. This tom flew through the air and was pecking and beating his wings in my face. It scared the hell out of me and I wound up losing my balance and rolling my ankle. No big deal, but the ribbing I got for having to report it was the worst part.

I think Barnyard's pigeon was a carrier pigeon rather than the common pigeon that we have all grown to despise.

Nope. Clipped common pigeon that the owners used to train their bird dogs.

It would be an avoidable if you were listening to Metalica-Ride the Lightning, any ACDC song, twice as bad if it was Thunderstruck, or any Tesla song.
