As I sit here in Parque Central I find myself pondering how pigeons got the market on all of the park fountains. No matter where you are in the world, if there is a park with a fountain, there are pigeons. How did they win the Aves bidding war ? Was there one? Did nature somehow randomly allocate them here? Why are fountains their preferred domain? Was it the opportunity to crap on passersby what made this prime real estate? Are the other fowl jealous? Or is this considered less desirable housing in the aviary world? Questions I have, none important, but questions nonetheless…
