Ha! I had no idea what you were referring to about berries and the sun until I watched the end of that “Hey Arnold” episode. What a lovely story! And yes, I do indeed wash my berries before eating them. 🙂

The different pigeon breeds are pretty much the same size. You would be surprised but the park is chock full of squirrels and smaller birds like sparrows, Starlings, and Blue Jays. They do just fine all throughout the winter.

It is not illegal to keep pigeon coops in the city. What I found to be pretty great when I looked into this is that the city does not even accept complaints about people keeping coops or pigeons as pets. They only step in when there are complaints of abuse or mistreatment.

I enjoyed the history of the rooftop coops and pigeon people , as well as, the Nickelodeon post so much…many thanks!
