The kinetic chaos of this feathered flurry under a Berlin train track this fall is heightened by the memory of a threat from the woman feeding these pigeons, and her devotion to their needs. Not only did she refuse to let us pass by when she was feeding the wild winged wonders, but she also threatened to seize the camera! Don’t worry, sis, no faces!

Next time you are on a park bench or waiting for the bus, spend a few minutes observing pigeons; historically significant to civilizations dating back thousands of years, intelligent, scrappy, hard-working, just trying to get along like the rest of us. This interaction on this day in Berlin taught us to pay closer attention.
