Were they Miss Rhode Island's birds? Hope George doesn't throw water on them. That would be bad. But he doesn't have a deal with them.

PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (Gray News) - A 35-year-old Florida man lost his life Saturday while trying to retrieve a pigeon he cared for from a power line.
Deputies from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office found Elian Garcia-Rivera around 3 p.m. They told The Palm Beach Post he used a 20-foot aluminum pool pole to try and move his bird, but accidentally touched the live power line.
The shock threw him to the ground between a large pigeon coop and a fence.
Paramedics transported him to a local hospital where he passed away.
"There are no words to say," according to a man who identified himself as Garcia-Rivera's brother Julian, but wouldn't give his full name. "We never knew something like this could happen."
Garcia-Rivera is survived by two young daughters. Julian told local media he has another brother who lives in Cuba.
They were ohming pigeons?

That’s a shame. He sounds like he would have been a good candidate for dim president.
Ohm my gosh..

Don’t touch that with a 10 foot pole. Inflation is rampant regardless of what the Federal Reserve says. The proverbial 10 foot pole is now a 20 foot pole.
Indeed. Gary Conduit got burned messing with a chick (and he was from California, not Florida). But he was well enough insulated that he wasn’t charged.
Darwin award.
LOL
Yeah it’s obvious he didn’t understand what he was messing with. There’s no joy here.
I’m sure he learned his lesson, safe to say he’ll never do this again.
We never knew something like this could happen?
OK. Here’s a butter knife. See those two slots in the wall? Pick one and shove this in there.
