That's like, weird...right?

I saw one of the strangest

things this morning as I

walked to work from

the train station.

I saw a lone pigeon

strutting along the

busy Chicago sidewalks

with a long pigeon feather

in its beak.  

This pigeon was just

bobbing along, clutching

a long pigeon feather in its

mouth, like it was so

normal.

I had never seen a

pigeon, or any bird for that

matter, ever carry some other

bird’s feather in his

mouth.

It was so weird. The pigeon

seemed to know it was a little

strange because when he saw

me see him, he pretended like

it was so cool to have a feather in

his beak.  

“I do this all the time, bro,” was

the look on the pigeon’s little

face. And he continued to bob

and waddle past me toward the

destination of his choice.

Some bird bar perhaps

where bird feathers might

be currency. A sort of bird

Fight Club maybe, or he

was planting some evidence to keep

the long arm of pigeon law at bay.

Either way, it was a very

peculiar way for Monday to

start.
