The pigeons in union square, washington square park, and Columbus circle are all very well socialized. Go to pet co and get a big bag of seeds (or just some bread) and get out there… you can have a cute photo op and also they’re nice. they are nice and they are beautiful, is the main thing. They will not give you diseases even if they land on you!
Also the high line, the MAD museum, the folk art museum, and the met Are all good places to go, if you don’t want to feed pigeons

thank you for caring for them and it is not a failing to not know about the bread! I didn't know either and now I'm telling you and you can tell other people. wonderful ripple effect of caring for these feral angels 💞

no hate at all and I love pigeons as well but bread is actually really bad for them (and all birds!) the cheapest options that are healthy for them are lentils & rice - both so cheap! I really recommend Palomancy (Facebook group & website) for pigeon care & rescue. if you ever see an injured pigeon anywhere, they will try to help you catch it & get it to a rehabber!

I feed the pigeons in my city in different parks about once every week or two. It brings me so much joy, like way more than tv or music or social media. Also! it makes everyone around you happy too, they all take out their phones when all the birds fly down and all the kids smile :)

these lil babies are the kindest sweetest little creatures - they absolutely love people and will be ur loyal-est friend
keep some sunflower seeds in your bag to share with them on your city walks - or for the more advanced, a lil pair of scissors to remove string that often gets trapped in their feet 🫶

Gazpacho only in the late summer, persimmons only in the winter, etc. just because we can import anything from anywhere anytime doesn’t mean we should. Nothing is special if you can have it whenever you want it.

So much so that you stare at it like gollum and fantasize about passing it down to your unborn children. I got a new bracelet at the antique store
