It is rumored that Nicola Tesla had a very strong affinity towards pigeons.

There was one pigeon in particuar that would come to his room in the Waldorf Astoria where he would feed it every day.

The story goes that the pigeon was sick and Tesla stayed home to nurse it.

One day, Tesla found the pigeon dead.

He died shortly after.
