The pigeon that hitched a ride on my luffing jib last Tuesday

I was doing a pick at a demolition site near downtown Austin last week, swinging a 2 ton concrete chunk when this pigeon landed on the jib cable and just rode it like a theme park attraction for three swings. It stayed put through the whole unload, even when the wind picked up, and only flew off when I lowered the hook to the ground. Has anyone else had an animal tag along mid-lift, or do I need to start leaving breadcrumbs in my cab?

Saw a hawk do the same on a boom lift, they just pick their spot and hold on.
