National Pigeon Day! What a great idea! I received an email from the very passionate Anna Dove of People for Pigeons proposing a National Pigeon Day for June 13th. Details and the story of the famous and inspirational pigeon Cher Ami can be found here: http://peopleforpigeons.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

Merry Almost Christmas!There are a bunch of pigeons who hang out on Allen Street in the Lower East Side and a woman who I call Greta (she just looks like a "Greta") who feeds them every morning. She wears different wigs all the time and lots of giant plasticy jewelry and mismatched leg warmers. I think I await her morning visit just as much as the pigeons do. There are signs that say Don't Feed The Pigeons and No Parking Bicycles or Mopeds. But Greta is a rebel. She's listening to the birds instead of the parks commission. She is the every-day-Santa delivering the goods.This is a great time of year to sponsor a pigeon for someone you love. Their crap will mingle with the snow and adorn car windshields with a tad more permanence. They really are the most adorable birds with such distinct personalities. They need your love. Screw the signs and feed the pigeons. Park your moped alongside Greta's and have the Merriest Christmas ever!xoxo, Kerryps, I am not at all a tech/internet-savvy person and I use a template server... so if you notice any problems with the site or the photos, please do let me know. I keep trying to get it all in order, but sometimes a couple of the pictures get switched or doubled and there's seemingly very little I can do but warn you....
