# want to create an each method for the main attributes (color, gender, lives)
#   use the k, v pair to access the options for the main attributes
# create another each method to sort through the keys and access the values 
# create a hash if one doesn't already exist for that bird, otherwise add them to that hash

# use if/else statement to filter respective attribute data into the correct k-v pairs


# Iterate over the hash above collecting each pigeon by name and insert it
# as the key of a new hash where each name holds the attributes for that bird. 
# Your output should match the hash below:
