Feeding pigeons first thing in the morning. I have a reason to get out of bed and something to look forward to every day.

It's funny how we will do for others what we don't do for ourselves. My sons sobriety began with a cat.

My healing journey also started with really being there for my cat. It might sound weird to the uninitiated but she's taught me a lot.

do you keep a pen or just visit the locals that come to your neighborhood?

i like to hate on their calls, they can really take over when listening to bird songs

I live in the pedestrian zone of a semi large city. I feed them from my window and there are no other birds in the area that they could drown out. Except crows maybe but those are much louder.

that's great

when my wife and I first moved to Seattle, we picked an apartment on the 3rd floor. The day after we moved in, we noticed a bird nest on the balcony. Turned out to be rock doves. It's was fun watching them. They had two babies and we left them alone until they all stopped coming back before we cleaned up their mess.

good memories 🤙
