Courting in the sun!

A few years ago I used to work at the top floor of a large building. On the ledge of my office window, I could often see pigeons "flirting"... Once, I managed to catch a pair on "film". Cute! Even though some people consider that in a city pigeons are no better than rats! Enjoy your weekend everyone, even though for most of you it'll be cold!

  1. Rats with wings I've always thought, but this photo is making me rethink that. Beautiful!

  2. Oh, I don't mind pigeons at all. I find them real characters at times.

  3. Excellent. Courting in the sun is ....sweet. Now two pigeons make me think about...
    I also remember your older post from ...2006, before my acknowledge of PDP, showing two pigeons (maybe the same ones). http://www.parisdailyphoto.com/2006/02/paris-city-of-love.html.
    I never thought of rats when I think of pigeons. I'd rather think of a joke a friend of mine said one day : the best place ever for a pigeon is... inside a pie... But heard now I could have answered no ! the best place ever is Under the sun, courting ! ;)

  6. Love pigeons! Love the way they coo. Superb photo. Merci, Eric!! Thank you for continuing to share such awesome vignettes of Paris.
    (In regard to the notion that pigeons are just flying rats -- I must say, for humans to speak so negatively about animals is rather like the kettle calling the pot black.)

  7. I don't know about the Paris pigeons, but the ones in NYC all have pigeon lice.
