Amy, your careful and loving look at pigeons will help me be a little more compassionate to the multitude of pigeons that live in New York City. Thanks. Carolyn

Thanks, Carolyn! I think they are funny little city dwellers in fine suits -- at least this can make you laugh a bit when you see them next.

I live two blocks from a park made of cliffs overlooking the Pacific. I, too, had rarely seen pigeons outside cities but here they waddle, roost , peck, court abd breed. It's always strange when I go on about them to friends who visit. Pigeons just don't elicit much interest from most folks but I love watching them.

I realize most pigeons are feral and no wonder they love us so. At least there are some of us watching, keeping tabs.

Nice story. I like how pigeons alert me about the whereabouts of Cooper's hawks and peregrine falcons in the neighborhood.

Ooh, interesting -- because they hide/flap away?

Ah amazing! I wish I could whistle by flapping my arms. It feels very useful.
