There was a susurration of wings and an irritated cooing as the flock rippled into the air. They settled back a few feet away and resumed pecking at the ground. Three of the larger pigeons had claimed half of a bagel from a nearby garbage can and guarded it zealously.
“Hey,” said a brown pigeon.
“Howdy,” said the newcomer, a common gray.
“So why'd you bring the human?”
“Oh, him?” The pigeon looked over his shoulder. “He's a new guy. I'm showing him the ropes.”
The man waved. “I've got nowhere else to go.”
