This flock has been establishing itself as a more prominent feature of 7th St., off of Broadway, since the city put in bike lanes and pedestrian islands. Prior to that, for at least several months, the intersection had been fenced off completely, at times, due to the construction, job site that was situated in this part of town.
The flock is most likely a sub-feature of the more well-trafficked Broadway flock, at 5th, between 5th and 6th. There, the owner of a shop hands out a 5 pound bag of bird seeds every day, going on many years, now - which is sufficient to feed the dozens and dozens of birds there, and their friends, sometimes (the Broadway flock flies over to Pershing Square, and back and forth, at least a few times per day). A lot of the birds situate themselves at Pershing Square for much of the day, since that’s one of my daily pigeon-feeding flocks that I visit daily, and I also have food for them.
This flock is moderately sized, with perhaps 2 dozen or so pigeons. Here, there is a newspaper and noticias vendor that tends to them. The flock is a nice feature of the corner, and the birds liven up the heavily foot-trafficked pedestrian intersection of Broadway at 7th, in Downtown LA.
