Breaking: Local Pigeon Claims to Be World’s First Avian Influencer

In a world dominated by human influencers, a plucky pigeon named Percy has decided to shake things up by launching his own social media campaign, declaring himself the first-ever avian influencer. Nestled comfortably atop a statue in Central Park, Percy has amassed a following of over 1,000 dedicated bird-watchers and curious humans, all eager to catch a glimpse of his daily adventures.

“I just wanted to show the world that pigeons are more than just city nuisances; we’re fashion icons, too!” Percy cooed in a recent video, featuring him strutting around with an oversized pair of sunglasses and a tiny feather boa. His followers can’t get enough of his unique takes on the latest trends in bird fashion, and his hashtag #PigeonChic is already trending among the avian community.

But Percy’s rise to fame hasn’t been all sunshine and breadcrumbs. Critics have emerged, claiming that his influence is leading to a rise in “pigeon envy” among other birds. A flock of disgruntled sparrows released a statement demanding equal representation, arguing that they are the unsung heroes of urban wildlife. “We chirp for change! We demand our own hashtag: #SparrowStyle,” the statement read.

Meanwhile, Percy’s human followers are enjoying the ride, sharing photos of their own attempts to emulate his style. “I never knew I could wear feathers and sunglasses together until Percy showed me,” said one enthusiastic fan, sporting a questionable outfit that raised eyebrows but certainly didn’t lack in creativity.

In an unexpected twist, Percy recently announced a collaboration with a local bakery to create a signature line of pigeon pastries, including the highly anticipated “Seed Scone Surprise.” Local wildlife experts are both intrigued and horrified, debating whether it’s ethical to market pastries towards birds. “It’s great for publicity, but should we really be giving pigeons pastries? What’s next, avocado toast?” asked one concerned ornithologist.

Despite the controversies, Percy remains undeterred, tweeting, “Haters gonna hate, but I’ll keep strutting my stuff!” As he continues to soar to new heights of fame, one can only wonder what this feathered influencer will do next. Will he launch his own line of birdseed skincare products? Only time will tell.
