Is it true that if you feed pigeons with baking powder they explode?

Always heard it said but surely they wouldnt explode , surely not. But do they ?????Is it true that if you feed pigeons with baking powder they explode?
Well it does kill them...I work with some sick guys and they did it to the crows in the woods at the back of our work place. They put baking soda onto bread, folded the bread and pressed the edges to seal the powder into the bread pocket.





I didn't watch...but they came in roaring with laughter.





I did however watch when they soaked bread with Chlorpromazine, an antipsychotic...The crows were flying into tree trunks..but they didn't die.Is it true that if you feed pigeons with baking powder they explode?
Cheers...It was funny to watch..You shoulda been there! Report Abuse

wow...dont know hope ur not going to try it....lol
How sad are you? ROFL
sure is, would rather do it to a seagull though dirty bu*****.
Not true, unless you could also get them to drink some vinegar afterwards. Or have them chew on a mento then swig some cola..............
And why would one want to explode Pigeons. Isn't there enough small packages delivered from the sky's above our heads in Trafalgar square?
Are you in third grade?
No, they just get bloated and then they eventually die because of it. The same with rice. But don't try it, that would be animal cruelty.
It's not a good idea to be torturing and killing innocent animals. Animal cruelty means jail time.
in the gremlins film they exploded a gremlin by putting it in a microwave. maybe this will work...........
Ha ha pidgeon go BOOM!!!!! lol
sure your not talking about semtex mate.
wait a minuet - - - - - - - - - - -BANG - - - - - - - - - YES
I don't know but you have probably given some of the less balanced individuals who might read this an idea for their next jolly. Well done ...NOT ....idiot!!!!
Why would you want to know such a thing? That's really sick!
Inexplicably yes. Although i think you will have to make sure the powder is dry I think. Not encouraging you to try it though lol
LOL!!!
I heard that those denture cleansing tablets did the same job.


Has anyone tried this experiment yet? I hate pigeons.





(Stand well back and wear wipeable clothing....... ewwwww!)
this is to dumb but try an see
Hope so, I hate them, going to try it now!
no. they'll just get really uncomfortable, with possible diarrhea, gas and bloating, but they might die if you feed them baking powder a lot though.
alka seltzer works better!!!
I hope so....tell me more... they are a curse, and flying rats. tell me more. i will even give you my e. mail to tell me more. How did you find that our. baking soda, I am going to try that tomorrow, so watch out, lots of booms and bangs and guts and feathers, and beaks and claws......great. really. that is awful.
yes
Dunno. But alka seltzer will make them bloat up and dive (I've heard)
Lets find out!!!
Naw, but if you feed them rice their stomache will. Then they die an excruciatingly slow death..... not good.
i thought it was alka seltzer. we need to ask the myth busters, haha
Ooooh...I didn't know we had kindergarten kids among us in Yahoo Answers!





Hey kiddo, feeding pigeons is a big no-no, just like talking to strangers! Don't do that or you'll get in trouble.
Heard it works with ducks.
i wudnt try it if i were you......
