Pitchaya Sudbanthad's excellent story about the culture of pigeon keeping in Brooklyn that ran in The Morning News back in August. If you're as interested in the autonomous clouds of pigeons that are ever-present above most New York City neighborhoods as I am, it's a must read.
I meant excellent in a "he's writing 'bout pigeons in Brooklyn, I like pigeons, I like Brooklyn" kinda way.
Wasn't really attempting to tear it apart. I'm glad you did though, there are definitely shady overtones of cultural tourism...
