Flying Rat

Pigeon, resting on neighbor's balcony.

While I love all animals, especially birds, pigeons are among my least favorites.

I consider most of them to be "flying rats," as they are nasty, and can spread diseases.

This one, however, seems to be one of several kept as pets by someone in an adjacent neighborhood, and different from those found in urban centers.

Oakland Park, Florida -US- near Fort Lauderdale.

See him LARGER.
