About the Is This A Pigeon Meme
An anime character in a white suit stands in a sunny field, gesturing toward a yellow butterfly with one hand while looking at it with a completely sincere expression. A subtitle reads "Is this a pigeon?" — despite the answer being obviously no. The meme captures the confident incorrectness of someone misidentifying something obvious, whether it's calling a clearly bad idea "innovation" or mistaking any mild inconvenience for a personal attack.
From the 1991 anime "The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird." An android character gestures at a butterfly and sincerely asks "Is this a pigeon?" The scene was never meant to be funny — it's a robot learning about Earth — but the internet turned it into the perfect template for hilariously wrong identifications.
