Masterful contradictions, Daisy. From something we've all seen in our lives. A man feeding the pidgeons (not sure why I spelled it like that but this is probably the Elizabethan....)

pidgeon feels far more respectable!

This story makes me root for the hawks. Every hawk is 100 less pigeons.

Never thought I’d feel for some pigeons. A great read, thank you, daisy.

Having observed pigeon armies taking possession of land by force (the corner of Madison & Wells in Chicago is but one example), I have long felt that the solution to the pigeon problem is not eliminate the pigeons, but to eliminate the "pigeon people" (i.e. the people who feed the pigeons).

Your endings always punch me in the gut. A weird kind of hit that makes me want to start over from the beginning and resubmit.

This one's giving strong Hey Arnold! pigeon man vibes.

Loved this piece, especially: “Look, your god is over there, you idiots”

You might find yourself becoming a pigeon person. And I don’t consider that a bad thing. They have a bad rap, but they’re beautiful and pretty damn sharp too

Damn you just brought me back. Now I’m wondering if I was even looking at a real guy or just subconsciously dreaming Hey Arnold thoughts. Either way, I appreciate the read!
