Queens, NY - Catherine Penfold-Waxman - Tuesday, December 20th, 2005 : goo

I know a bloke who catches pigeons and sells them in Chinatown, where they are released in ceremonies. He is currently on the run from the ASPCA. The going price for pigeons is 3 for $10.

a few years ago i used to dislike them, but then i had a change of heart.
ps. i bet the sidewalks aren't so empty today. i bet there are some crazy photo opportunities during the transit strike in new york

I made an attempt to go to work, but took one look at the backed-up traffic and hundreds of people walking toward the 59th street bridge and turned back. If I can avoid walking 4 miles in subzero weather, I will. Luckily, I can telecommute, so I'm at home working and listening to the cat snore.

they're actually pretty good-looking birds; if they were so overpopulated we'd probably treasure them.

Pigeons didn't bother me until I saw a dead one on a tram line with a crowd of pigeons around it, one of which was humping the corpse. No, I did not take a photo.
jack: actually that was pidgeon recusitation.

when the earth is empty and devoid of all life, including pigeons - there will still be cigarette butts on the planet's surface
