We are not sure we are the good guys.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLast winter, pigeons found my husband's balcony. Not just to visit - to nest, to lay, to hatch. We watched it happen. We made a choice, or rather, we kept not making the opposite one: we did not shoo them away, we did not remove the nest, we did not do what most people do. When the mother disappeared for too long, my husband left out water for the chicks. We told ourselves we were helping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey grew up. They left. And then we netted the balcony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mess they left behind was extraordinary - the kind that makes you understand, viscerally, why most of humanity is not kind to pigeons. We cleaned it. We sealed the space. And now they sometimes still come back, pressing themselves against the net, trying to find the way in. I have had to rescue them from it more than once. We are the ones who closed the door, and we are the ones who keep pulling them free when they get caught in it. The dilemma did not resolve. It just changed shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBaby Pigeons\u003c\/em\u003e is the third work in the \u003cem\u003eHouse Zoo\u003c\/em\u003e series, a collection about the wild that moves in without asking.
