Yep, sorry true. A pigeon you'd need to do with the same intensity of pulling a wine cork from a bottle.
If you've ever had to get break the necks of little birds that get caught in those nets around orchards, because untangling them just kills them of shock, then you use the same intensity of pulling a lid off a bic pen.
Don't pull their little heads off because you will cry when watching the cartoon of Oscar Wilde's little prince, even before it's began, let alone when it ends.
