In The Midst

 

I was dropping off clothes donation at a charity centre and noticed this young woman and her child right in the midst of a huge flock of pigeons. By the time I got my camera out she had moved a bit but the pigeons were basically just ignoring her. They just calmly moved aside from the stroller as she headed away. I guess they knew she had no food for them so they weren't interested.

    Hello,
    The pigeons must be used to people walking around them.
    They seem intent on staying , not moving too far.
    Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.

    Urban Pigeons learn to read people. You got a great photo of this flock and the woman with the stroller.

    That is a huge group of pigeons. The last time I saw a group that big was last October when I was in London.

    Take your pick ... from Google

    A band of pigeons · A dropping of pigeons · A kitte of pigeons · A loft of pigeons · A passel of pigeons.

    I rather like 'passel'.

    I wish I was articulate enough to explain what I love about that photo so much. I think you did a pretty good job of describing it. Thank you, Pat

    Big city birds are a bit different.
