I’m going to turn into a guy like the one you describe, feeding the pigeons on the upper west side. For a long time now I’ve wanted to feed the birds up here, but locals don’t want some crazy woman leaving birdseed around!! Maybe I can come up with a way of doing it. I’d love to see all the little birds get their birdseed also! Have a great holiday season Roger_Paw. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Thank you so much, Carlene! Our pigeons are fascinating. There is a guy who visits the park almost every day who hand feeds them. They know him very well. All he has to do is whistle and the whole flock will fly over to him. Yesterday he was holding one of them and petting it. The pigeon was closing its eyes in ecstasy. It was adorable.

It’s cold out there. The poor pigeons are aware that any second they may be someone’s next meal. I’ve always loved pigeons and I love the way these guys line up like sentinels on the arch. What would New York be without our pigeons? Thanks so much for braving the cold and posting these photographs. I love the photo of the arch face with all the pigeons and the large bald eagle on the facade beneath them. It should appear in a photograph album of famous New York sites.
