Have any of you heard of the Harvard MIT Pigeon Prank?

An MIT student dressed in a black-and- white striped shirt went to the Harvard football stadium every day of one summer, blowing a whistle while scattering breadcrumbs or birdseed to coax neighborhood pigeons down onto the field. At Harvard’s opening game of the season, upon the referee’s first whistle, it’s said hundreds of pigeons descended onto the field, causing a half-hour delay.

@futurebird we know this is not an MIT prank because it lacks the hallmark of MIT pranks: an engineering component.
