Former boxer Mike Tyson holds a pigeon on the set of his six-part documentary “Taking on Tyson”, in this undated publicity photograph. Tyson says pigeons were his first love as a bullied kid on the tough streets of Brooklyn, and later on, birds gave him peace and tranquility before and after some of his most bruising professional fights. Now, the man nicknamed “Iron Mike” for his ferocious boxing style is sharing that passion and showing a gentler side of himself in “Taking on Tyson”, starting on the Animal Planet cable TV channel on March 6, 2011. – Photo by Reuters
