I was all, ‘Oh my god, that pigeon has one leg!’ But a minute later his other leg came down. But only for a few seconds. Do they all do this and I just never noticed?
I swear he was hanging out like this for a half an hour, on one leg.
He was a plump little guy too. Wait a minute! He does this to play on people’s sympathies and gets more food. Right??
It’s a well known pigeon scam and I’m the last to know.
He’s just sleeping; that’s how birds do it.
Here’s a link that will explain it better than I can:

And here’s one on the standing on one leg:

Thank you!! I was so upset at first, so I cracked up at that second one where she talks about all the people freaking out and writing her about the poor one legged birds.
