here pigeon, pigeon.

i was taking a walk through a local park recently with a friend when we came across a few pigeons. she's like "look how cute, little pigeons..." I'm like, "uh yea, that's a good looking pigeon!" i proceeded to explain the difference between city pigeons and these well kept, friendly, stay out of your way types at the park we were at. it reminded me of gary and penny, a pigeon couple that used to live outside my window. i wrote about them a couple of years ago, here. i miss those little birdies. anyway, i don't miss the dirty, scruffy looking flocks of them that used to hang out near the alley in the last place i lived. i swear every time i walked by i felt like it was a scene out of hitchcocks movie "the birds" (which happens to be one of my all-time favorites.) nonetheless, those pigeons were not very friendly, and in desperate need of a serious bird bath. there was a another little fella that used to hang outside the window seal. i never named him, but he would let me get so close to photograph him. i probably could have made him my pet :)

so here you go friend, here are some photos for you...
