Picture A Day || The Duality of Pigeons

avatar

Pigeons. They aren't my favorite type of bird, and definitely not my favorite animals. Mostly because of how up close and personal they can get. And also the fact that messy things can happen when they fly over you. Other than that, they are kind of fascinating. Walking around in a sort of monotonous brainless manner just putting the same routine on repeat. Scan for food, detect food, scatter when startled. I've heard they're also quite good in soup, but I wouldn't know myself.

Apparently, they also make for a very good photo-op, as is evident in the picture below. I was just walking by, going about my day, when I noticed this gathering of mindless birds, posing with the architecture of Amsterdam in the background.

This picture was taken with a OnePlus 8T and was not manually edited by me. What the camera software on smartphones does nowadays is another point. It's somewhere in Amsterdam not far from the Central Station.

What do you see in the image? Do you like pigeons?

¿Hay celulares que automaticamente mejoran las fotos? Yo tampoco soy fan de las palomas, tuve una mala experiencia de niño al jugar en el balcon con palomas cerca y que me pasen sus piojos ajajaja pero hay que admitir que son unos animales que caracterizan a las ciudades urbanas

!LUV This is nothing, compared to the amount of pigeons around the Dam though.

yeah, but they never sit as peaceful for too long like these did. Because of all the people.

Ah yes true. On the one hand I want to ask our friends to prepare it someday and on the other hand I'm hesitant 😅.

The one who would have been the chef of that soup is I think in the same hemisphere at the moment, so who knows 😅.
