Did I ever tell you my pigeon in downtown Seattle story? No?? Okay, let me see if I can TLDR this thing.
So I'm driving the bus downtown, and the light for the intersection in front of me turns red. I come to a stop, and I notice a pigeon standing at the edge of the curb on the right side of the road. It looks left, it looks right, and then it FUCKING CROSSES THE ROAD IN THE ACTUAL GODDAMN CROSSWALK.
And that's when I knew pigeons were really aliens here to (very successfully) take over the world.
No, you did NOT tell me this story!! But I'm thinking you might need to guest post for this stack sometime and share some pigeon stories. I fucking love this.
Enjoyed this. Maybe we need all the bird lovers to join in a new Substack category: "feather stack."
Feeding birds at the park on a Sunday afternoon is a worldwide tradition right? Pigeons were never really my thing. For me it's squirrels. There are people that don't like either. And they call them Sky rats or Tree rats respectively.
Oh, I'm right there with you for squirrels. They are near the top of my list of wildlife loves, hence one of the reasons I doubt I can stick exclusively to pigeons in this publication 😂🤭
I love that you're creating an entire substack in homage of the too oft-maligned pigeon, friend. It's totally you! Pepe is forever going to be the archetypal pigeon for this reader. So dapper (and skunk-like!). Looking forward to coming along for the pigeon adventure rides with you. 🪽🐧🪶💞 (also, I do realize that's a penguin emoji, but it it's black and white, like Pepe, so here we are).
I knew you would appreciate this homage, dear friend! You are a kindred. And “the archetypal pigeon” made me grin :D Thank you for all the ways you come along with me. xoxo
Well, I said I would be the first to subscribe if you did this, and I see I was not fast enough. Dammit! But I am here and I am excited as this will relieve some of my ever-present homesickness a la - you can take the girl out of NYC, etc. This is very exciting and you are, for sure, the correct person for this ‘stack. Or this flock. So yay.
I love your intimate connection to the city and feel happy I can provide some photographic opportunities for you to relieve some homesickness. Thank you for being here, flock-city-friend. xx

Go on, ask me. I have other pigeon stories.

Wonderful pigeons! Thank you for brightening up my evening!
Aren’t they grand? I’m so happy they brought you brightness!

Love this! Pigeons are the best
I am 100% in. I LOVE PIGEONS!
Oooooh, yayyy Josie!! So happy 'bout this :)
I love this so much! And relate! I still have pics in my phone of pigeons from the summer I lived in midtown Manhattan (2019).
Gahhhh, welcome to the flock-club!!
