The Non-Stop Talking Pigeon Now Streaming 🕊️
Watching the pigeon argue with the entire world for 15 straight minutes is an exercise in patience that only a 4-year-old can endure. Adults, on the other hand, will find the character familiar: it's that coworker who never takes no for an answer. Sure, at least the series won't ask you to lend it your ice cream truck. For now.
