@NewYorker This is a fantastic article about a truly noble creature ... kudos (or should that be coo-dos) to all concerned

We had the honor of hosting The New Yorker writer Ian Frazier at the clinic, and the result is a thorough, compassionate treatment of one of our favorite topics: pigeon feet! “I hate how pigeons get stuff stuck on their feet.” Right there with you, sir.

@wildbirdfund A truly lovely piece. Pigeons are nature's survivors and share the world with us
