Pigeon at Dusk
Uploaded: September 29, 2013

This was submitted in a different form in October 2011. This is a posh pigeon, to say the least. Also a cultured pigeon, judging from the place he calls "Home."

This brilliant little character is a tour guide at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.
----
Well, he probably doesn't do tours, but he seemed very majestic as he surveyed his realm.
