Introduced by Jeffery Boswall The Public Life of the Street Pigeon
You see them here, you see them there;
You see street pigeons nearly everywhere!
A flock of street pigeons is not a chance collection of odd coloured gutter-snipes but of birds wonderfully suited to survive as our urban partners. This has enabled them to become probably the most successful birds in the world.
We have in turn developed pigeons tailor-made for speed, navigation, beauty and even freaks that you can roll along the ground like bowls - and some which fall from the sky in fits.
