POSING PIGEONS IN THE PARK

Down by the boat dock in the park I've recently noted that one pigeon had begun decorating himself with shiny found objects such as paper clips or discarded aluminum pull tabs. As soon as they saw this, several other young pigeons began to emulate him and collected their own bits of litter to serve as "jewelry." Naturally this resulted a good deal of squab bling among his piers.
