Dating pigeons is serious business.

Not a joke as far as I can tell, but my work computer doesn't have Japanese character support so it's kinda hard to tell.

Pretty sure Fukushima's meltdown is totally facilitating this industry.

In Los Angeles when I worked for Marubeni my bosses were both from Japan. I called pigeon's sky rats once and they both cracked up. "Why do you call doves sky rats?"

I don't think the Japanese separate doves and pigeons the way we do, so pigeons may have a different connotation in Japan.

Then again we are racist against birds. If we see doves we saw, "Aww, how pretty." If we see crows we say, "Ack, how shitty."

"Hato" means both pigeon and dove in Japanese. The biggest bus tour company is called "Hato Bus."
