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 just wander around all morning and leave droppings everywhere. Pigeons are BORING and DIRTY!

A girl is feeding them, and all the birds are flying madly towards her. They’re SCARY!

I’m doing some online research now. It turns out pigeons can recognize themselves in mirrors. How surprising! Are they really that clever? I’d better go watch them again.

I’m back at the park. Oh! That pigeon is looking at itself in the water! Maybe I was wrong about pigeons.

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

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