Bird Watcher

Owen loves animals. Noteably pigeons, dogs, and squirrels- the only animals we really see here in Manhattan. Every single time we head to the park, the moment he is released from stroller bondage he is off to hunt pigeons. Luckily, here in NYC we have plenty of pigeons to provide him with hours of entertainment. Pigeons are extra fun because they don't fly away when they see Owen coming, like most birds do. Pigeons love to run first. They will run, and run, and run, and run until the last minute- when Owen is almost certain he has one for a pet- and then they decide to fly. But not too far. They fly just far enough for him to think there still might be a chance. So the chase persists. For most of the afternoon.
