It is forbidden

[Poulette]

Yesterday while I was feeding my pigeon friends in the backstreet, a car was coming behind me slowly. I moved to let it pass by me, and then the driver opened his dark glass window, you know like in a ganster movie... very slowly... I was thinking " Well a pigeon lover, or not?" He was the ennemy. The man with the mafia hat began to say "So it is you who attract the pigeons in the neighborhood, you know it is forbidden to feed them... etc." A panic red alert was ringing in my head, but I put my "nice lady" mask. I told him that I was not the only one to feed all the lovely birds, there are sparrows, robins, starlings too, that pigeons are really not flying rats, and in the winter they have a hard time with all that snow, etc... Anyway we finished the conversation almost friendly, talking about the other birds who go to Florida for the winter and that finally we would like to do the same after all, and laughing together!!! And my pigeons had their meal

They are helping me to fight my social anxiety (with humans) after all!
