Pigeon visits Citi Field, finds out Greg Bird doesn't have feathers (VIDEO)

Not to be outdone by the Mets' bright yellow rally parakeet who sometimes shows up around Citi Field, the Yankees brought their own little rally bird to Flushing Sunday night — a pigeon.

This little guy showed up during the first inning of the Yankees-Mets rubber game and although he did bring the Yankees some much needed rally power later on, the base-running avis was probably very disappointed to find out Yankees first baseman Greg Bird is really a man and not covered in feathers.

And the announcers had some fun with the cooing intruder as it nonchalantly headed down the basepath to meet its idol.
