Occasional Toronto: In The Midst

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.

The pigeons must be used to people walking around them.
They seem intent on staying , not moving too far.
