bird, watching.

so i was sitting here being a busy little worker bee just before, and suddenly had the feeling that someone was staring at me. i glanced at my door, and no one was standing there. so i looked the other way out the window, and saw two pigeons sitting on the rail of the balcony that runs outside my window. the little beasts were just sitting there, staring in.

feeling slightly flustered and on display, i went back to what i was doing. a minute later i looked up, and they were still there, glaring at me with their beady little pigeon eyes. really, how did they know that i inadvertently consumed* one of their kind recently?

this went on for a good 5 minutes until the birds flew away, presumably to go peep in on a fellow coworker.


*if your dining companion tells you that a squab is merely a "small bird", and it tastes really good, you eat first, ask questions like "do you mean 'small bird' as in 'domesticated pigeon'?" later.
