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.

You see them in every city.

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
