Nikola Tesla Was Fascinated By Pigeons And Fell In Love With One Particular White Bird That Regularly Visited Him In New York City, Giving His Life Purpose

Whenever Nikola moved into a new hotel room, he’d keep his windows open and feed pigeons that stopped by.

While Nikola spent a lot of time taking care of any pigeons he could find, he famously told a story about one particular feathered friend that he had fallen in love with.

It was a white pigeon that he claimed visited him regularly and followed him throughout the city. Sweetly, he said that specific pigeon, who was like a loyal friend, gave his life purpose.

So the next moment you’re walking around the streets of New York, seeing angry people curse out the chill birds, remember that they were once very important to humans, even those with extremely brilliant minds.
