Pigeon Congregation

In this photo, we witness a peculiar gathering of many pigeons assembled outside a building,
each one perched neatly side by side, in a straight row, on a railing by a street gutter.
The lack of nearby food sources makes their gathering even more intriguing,
prompting questions about what might have drawn them to this specific spot....

My wild guess is: There was a strike at some organization nearby. These pigeons voluntarily stood here. Whoever crossed the Pigion Line, would mean crossing the picket line. An interesting find and stunning catch. ~VVVVV~

Remarkable capture of this important congregation : the composition is superb and they all stand out perfectly on the brick wall.
The green railing is like an observation point and the fact that they are often arranged in opposition back to back raises questions : do they protect each other from a threat or do they consult for their future flight objective ?
A new excellent image that makes the mind work, Fong ! V.

Well timed "light hearted" capture of this gathering. The vibrant colors and diagonal lines add energy along with the strong perspective. Very nicely captured. VVV

Nice shot of this gathering of pigeons. Very well composed. "V"
globalgadabout08-Jul-2024 15:36
a wealth of lines and patterns shaken up by the orderly yet varied pigeons assembled in their own departure lounge...they could well be planning a group swoop on the food site of the day..

What a cool capture, Fong.
Pierre Martin08-Jul-2024 14:49

Great POV to present this "congregation" which remains me Hitchcock's movie "The Birds".

Well observed ... I have never seen this before. But luckily it is a row of pigeons which, like doves, is often revered as a symbol of peace. Had it been a row of black crows/raven, the owner of the house shown in the photo may have reasons not to sleep well ... lol! Well seen by you and captured, they don't seem to be bothered at all by you approaching them to take their photo! V

They are probably all complaining about the starlings.
