Description

This message is paid for by Pigeons for Human Awareness. They know they're dirty but they can't help it. I understand they are trying to find someone in Washington to lobby for them. They contend there is a direct correlation between DIRTY BIRDS and human illness and if there were bird baths in all America's the birds would have fewer germs and there would be fewer sick humans. I had no idea pigeons were such deep thinkers. I took this shot this morning on my way to work. I didn't even notice the sign on the passing bus until I got home and reviewed my pictures.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/600 seconds, Flash: Strobe return light not detected., ISO: 800, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: NIKON D200

No this isn't true or factual Kathy. I was just having fun with a sign on a bus that happened to be in the background of a picture I took of a pigeon. #8067631
