Snopes says it's likely apocryphal, as the original story claimed the prank was done by a student at MIT and was the subject of his thesis, but no such thesis was ever submitted and no MIT professor remembers any such prank. But it's a funny idea and someone should definitely try it! Edited February 15, 2023 by Corraleno 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corraleno Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 4 hours ago, Katy said: MIT students are known for massive pranks. MIT pranks are usually well documented, including several that were actually carried out in the Harvard football stadium (like a balloon and a sign that popped up out of the grass on the field), but there are no photos, video, eye witnesses, or any other evidence for the bird prank, and the story never includes details like the date or the names of the people involved, unlike the genuine pranks. The person at MIT who literally wrote the history of MIT pranks concluded it was likely not true: "Douglas is the Director of Collections and Curator of Science and Technology at the MIT Museum as well as the chief compiler of the second edition of Nightwork: A History of Hacks and Pranks at MIT. MIT has raised hacks to a kind of performance art, an unofficial pastime that brings the community together and often cultivates reverence from outside observers. “Good pacing, good humor, and not hurting anyone or anything—those are the keys to a good prank,” says Douglas. (“And also a good life,” she adds.) Douglas was kind enough to poke around various sources and archives in an effort to track down this piece of pigeon lore; however, she was not able to find any factual basis for the hack." 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
