--it could happen, we grow big pigeons here in NYC.

I am not sure if pigeons, more than other birds, have toes that turn in. (i always think of birds as having splayed feet and toes.. but I don't really look at pigeons much, and i am not sure if they are different.

there was some 7 or so years ago, an article in the NYTimes Magazine by a reporter who had a pigeon nest on his window sill.

at first, he had the normal NYer's disgust at the flying rat.. but he started to watch them, and the eggs, and chicks.. and he became over time, enamored. (i don't look at them.. i don't want to become enamored!)
