I just saw a very sad and unwell-looking pigeon huddled in a corner so I approached it in an effort to maybe get it some water and nutrients (carefully! from a distance! only the raisins I looked up on multiple pages on whether they're safe!) and the little guy flew off in a fright (not very far)

At which point an entire flock descended on me.

Honestly can't say for sure whether they were there for the raisins (they didn't seem that focused on the) or for protection (considering I saw some land on it and peck at its feathers...) but either way. What an experience

#Raisins are safe for birds but only as a treatin small amounts #and you shouldn't leave them lying about where cats or dogs can get at them #so if I'm feeding the crows close by the dogpark at work I pick up anything the birds didn't eat #also pigeons apparently need a deeper dish of water. Also that one was absolutely terrified so I ended up leaving it alone #birds #chaos rambles
