Overhead Danger


For some reason the pigeons like to sit on these wires which are right by the sidewalk leading to a local grocery store. The sidewalk is covered in bird droppings so you really have to watch out for your footing and for danger from above when you walk to the store. Nothing seems to discourage them.

    I have noticed here that flocks of sparrows seem to like the same set of electric lines. I wonder why. I see them there a lot, but at least they are not over a sidewalk!
    Have a wonderful weekend!

    That is a lot of pigeons, I would not want to walk under them.
    I usually see more blackbirds perched on the wires. Maybe a few Doves.
    Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend.

    It must be their favorite meeting spot. It does make you wonder, why this spot.

    That is a sizable flock of pigeons on those wires making a great photographic subject. But pigeons can be a problem in urban areas. Perhaps you need a few hawks to patrol the area?

    Hello, I saw the exact same thing last week. Rows and rows of pigeons and doves perched on overhead wires. I was in the car, just passing by, but took a photo through the windscreen. Why they do this, is a mystery.

    It's mathematics! That's why:

    And that's why I love photos like this and take my own! Thank you (and I'm sorry they are a nuisance).

    Birds around here are flocking on the wires, too. I don't understand it.
