Napowrimo day 15

A juxtapo-pigeon

Pidgeons and doves are likely the most common family of bird in the world and are distributed everywhere on Earth, except for the driest areas of the Sahara Desert, Antarctica and its surrounding islands, and the high Arctic."
And mostly, they eat our trash.
They eat grasses, and grains, and nuts, and berries when they can find them.
But in new York city there's a lot more trash than grasses, grains, nuts or seeds.
So they eat what they can find on the sidewalk
Do they know how many there are? Do they know how resillient?

Pidgeons were used as messengers in both world wars and 32 pidgeons have recieved wartime metals of honor.
The other day I heard someone call pidgeons "flying rats"

Doves have been worshiped as devine since ancient Mesopotamia
Ever since the first agricultural civilization
Pigeons have been gods.
And they live in the street
And the peck through the grit on the sidewalk for food.
What is the dirt to a god?
