“I may see myself as frightened as a pigeon, but I know that in this country people do not touch pigeons. Pigeons can live in cities, even in crowds. A little scared perhaps, but free.” — Hrant Dink, 1954-2007

The Humane Society of the United States heartily recommends Pigeons to its membership. "Pigeons: An interview with Andrew Blechman." Read it here.
