      Yes, literally rock doves. And yet for some reason the white doves are beautiful symbols of peace and the rock-colored doves are filthy flying vermin.

      My theory: pigeons are dirty and scruffy because they survive on trash, and that’s why humans hate them. We see our ugly reflection in them.

        I like them. I like watching them walk around with their little heads bobbing to their steps.
