Merry Pidge-mas!

 

Earlier today, I went out to feed the pigeons in the late morning.

The birds greet me, most of the time, some of them, at least, by flying up towards me.

A pair of siblings and their mother, from China, were taking photos and videos with the birds.

Another pedestrian was telling them that they should try being more interactive, and get a circle of birds round them. 

The guy asked me for some seeds, and he handed the kids a handful of seeds, each. It was a fun part of my day, to assist in giving them the pigeon experience that we have, here at Pershing Square.

Yesterday, I was in East LA, and the afternoon sun broke through the clouds and put out a glorious rainbow. 

I could most see the very end of the rainbow, off in the nearby distance.

The sparrows were out, as well, and I made sure to save some seeds for the little ones, as well. 

Walking and Metro Ride Tours of the DTLA Pigeon Flocks.

 Are you a local or visiting nature lover? Curious about getting to know the town’s pigeon flocks? Care for a unique and unforgettable wildlife sensory experience? Now, you can book walking and L.A. Metro ride tours of Downtown Los Angeles’ pigeon flocks, and get a chance to get close up with the birds, and perhaps you’ll get to hand feed them and handle some of them in the process. Tours cover several flocks spanning much of DTLA, over the course of a late morning or early afternoon, with opportunities to photograph, feed, and, potentially handle (some of) the birds in the process. I’ll show you my personal methods for feeding the birds, and it’s the perfect day trip excursion for bird and wildlife lovers, or for the wildlife-curious, at that. Tours take around 2 hours (recommended), and the buyer names the price (you’d have to book online, however, unless you somehow catch me in person for this deal). Tours include local and recent historic insights and lore regarding the flocks, and the town’s relationship with each flock, uniquely so.

Here’s your chance to see the pigeons up close and personal, alongside their primary handler (some of them).
