I am both feral and a synanthrope
That means I can live well with humans
Others can too - with a better design approach.
(The cool thing about writing this blog is that I never know what interesting things I will come across. In this case, I was noticing in my pictures from my day at Jetty Park the wide variations in the Rock Pigeon plumages, and intended to write about that. So, I was looking for a scientific article to reference, when I came across one that mentioned Rock Pigeons are "synanthropic". I was unfamiliar with the word, so started researching that, which led me to the web site linked below, which I thought was super interesting and a bit more timely. If you enjoy the concept, check out the other bird-related articles on the same site, also linked below. )
