Dearest Marianne, Oh my, that is a huge population and will create a lot of pigeon-poop. It can be quite a nuisance and yesterday when going to our new Catholic Church I was looking upward into the tower like entrance and there were all spikes sticking out. Pieter said, that is from preventing pigeons or other birds to sit there. Indeed, they are called bird spikes and it is a smart solution as they can soil a building! And they can transmit mites. Hugs, Mariette
Are you sure that is not 12 million. Not terribly fond of this bird...Although I guess many folks are. I see them feeding them all the time.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHello, pretty pigeons. I like their cute pink feet. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenVaste stadsbewoners.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA pigeon census. Love it! :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYears ago I read that one city used birth control pills to curb the proliferation of their pigeons. Wonder if it worked?!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThey don't seem to be greatly loved...I think they make too much of a mess!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLike Janey they are not my most favourite bird with their funny droopy beaks
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThose city pigeons look pretty well fed Marianne :) or I guess they could be fluffed up to keep warm!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like pigeons even if they have poor bathroom habits.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWOW, 12 thousand - Holy Bo-Pucky as we say here in Atlantic Canada. I thought 15 were a lot here in town. ha,ha
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDit keer niet op de Dam ;)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like them, regardless of their reputation. They seem to be such characters.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLoving this image!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for your participation at I'd rather b birdin' this weekend!
I think pigeons are the same all over the world!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOnly 12000 pigeons living in Amsterdam? Here, we try to control pigeon populations.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenPigeons in the park. We made them for the birds!

A city wouldn't be a city without them, it seems! :-)
