City Wildlife


Elephants and birds have an interesting bond. Birds will rest on the huge creature's back and tag along for a ride, and other times they will just fly along with them. Egrets walk along side elephants because the vibration of the massive beasts make the insects on the ground visible because they bounce up and down.

Pigeons have formed a similar respectful bond with us humans. We feed them our left over fries and bread crusts and they grace us with their constant cooing and public defecation. The more populated the city the braver the birds. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate their presence. I enjoy the dependability of feeding the pigeons at Seattle Center and  the mini wild life shows we get every day on the sidewalks. And when you are sitting at Westlake Station waiting for the bus they make perfect avian models.
