While we were venturing through Parkdale a bird lady threw food all over the sidewalk for the dozens of pigeons that apparently reside in this neighbourhood. We were a little too close for comfort but it made for a couple of decent shots. {February 10th, 2006}

They all-at-once took off down King Street West after they finished all the food she had left.{February 10th, 2006}
Once we had crossed the street she came back and consequently the birds came back too. Through all of this luckily none of these birds left their marks on us!{February 10th, 2006}
