      Pigeons are a historically domesticated bird, bred for beautiful plumage, good nature, and skillful navigation. In a way, we humans made them. That considered, I think its very callous to apply meaningless prejudice to any animal, especially one we are responsible for creating.

    I've always loved pigeons since I was a little kid. My mother would sometimes find either baby pigeons or wounded pigeons around the area and bring them home for a few weeks. We'd take care of them, they'd get better, and then we'd set them free. Some didn't make it and we'd bury them. Honestly, pigeons are probably my favorite bird. They are gentle and loving, and of all the birds they are among the few that I feel can develop a strong bond with a person. The only thing that I'd be concerned about is eating or touching my face without first having washed my hands after contact with them, but aside from that, I love what this guy is doing and hope that there are many more like him. And I can't stand people who hate pigeons. I think how a person feels about pigeons and especially how they behave towards pigeons says a lot about their character, for better or for worse.

    Reminded me of a guy we used to call "Squirrel Man". He'd be in Union Square Park and would feed the squirrels and let them climb up on him, take peanuts he was holding in his teeth, etc, etc. One day a friend and I were sitting in the park watching his escapades and he suddenly grabbed a squirrel (which was not happy about it) and wrapped the squirrel in the bottom of the t-shirt he was wearing and ran from the park. We were dumbfounded. At first we thought he might take it home to kill it but he was wearing a "Vegan's Do it Better" t-shirt so we think maybe he thought the squirrel needed some TLC..
