Pigeon Surprise

We’re studying birds for Bird Week at school. Some lucky kids got penguins. But I have to write about... pigeons!

I’m watching pigeons in the park right now. They spend the whole morning pecking around and leaving droppings here and there. Pigeons seem kind of boring and dirty to me!

There’s a girl feeding them. Oh no! The birds are flying crazily towards her. They’re a bit scary!

I’m doing some research online. Did you know that pigeons can recognize themselves in mirrors? That’s pretty surprising! Maybe pigeons are smarter than I thought. I think I’ll go watch them again...

I’m back at the park now. Look! That pigeon is admiring itself in the water! Maybe I misjudged pigeons earlier.

Now I’m reading in the library. Wow! There are over 200 different kinds of pigeons. Some can fly thousands of kilometers without getting lost. They can also fly at speeds over 100 kilometers per hour. That’s as fast as my dad’s car!

Well, pigeons aren’t boring or scary after all. They are AMAZING—I just didn’t know enough about them!
