Pigeons on a House in the Big Square

A walk through the Big Square is not complete without laying the eye on the numerous pigeons that consider it their personal home and which can be found in different places such as in the middle of the square, on buildings or in the air. The following photos show you some of the pigeons standing on the roof of a building and watching everything around them with great care. At the approach of someone they started flying in the air only to return on the same building a few moments later. The photos are a bit dark since it was between day and night but still distinguishable.

Pigeons Eating in the Big Square

Below are some photos of the pigeons who are eagerly eating their lunch right there in the Big Square. They provide good entertainment for the onlookers and they make the Big Square come to life.

Street View

Here is a view of the street in the Citadel's Park. Pigeons are always present and they make wonderful travel companions. It is somewhat secluded and very quiet as well. As you can see, autumn is making a presence by making the trees leave behind their brownish leaves.

The Most Beautiful Street in Sibiu, The Citadel's Street!

And I am back after a long absence with some pictures of the most beautiful street in Sibiu, The Citadel's Street or Strada Cetatii! These photos were taken on the first days of September, 2016! As you can see, the towers are keen observers of the passers by, they probably have a story or two to tell... Autumn is making a presence but it is not a tragedy for the pigeons which are happily walking on the pavement. The same goes for the passers-by. There, one can have a rest at the wonderful Pardon cafe, get a sip or two from the wonderful coffee or maybe even get a glimpse of the time. A real treat!

Children Feeding the Pigeons in the Big Square

Here are some photos of some young children feeding and playing with the pigeons in the Big Square. The pigeons are so used to being among people and they are not at all scared when the children want to catch them, but obviously they can't. At least the pigeons got themselves a good meal.... :-)

Pigeons Walking on the Pavement

The above photo shows pigeons walking freely on the pavement in the Big Square. They have chosen the dry part of the pavement strategically to be closer to the improvized feeding spot shown to you in the previous post. Some of them are trying to engulf what the feeder has thrown at them or whatever they can find in this barren scenery.

In the first two photos you can see a person feeding the pigeons in the Big Square. He is withstanding the freezing cold for the well-being of these creatures which animate the Big Square. The person is standing right next to the Catholic Cathedral. In the back  you can see the skating ring and people enjoying themselves skating.

The next three photos show how the pigeons are  animating the place and are flying away from the feeding spot only to get back to it again.

As the above photo shows, sometimes a relaxing walk in the Big Square proves to be a challenge. The people in the above photo had to duck from the pigeons which were trying to fly away into the Big Square horizon and later on return to an improvized feeding spot right in the centre of the Big Square. On the right, there is the skating ring on which some people are enjoying themselves skating. I wonder if they got frightened by the big flight of birds...

The second photo shows how the flight of pigeons filled up the middle of the Big Square, raising up in the sky eliminating people's fear of not ending up with one of them in their face. The photo is clearly liven up by the movement of the pigeons' wings who had to endure the harsh cold weather of the period.

Here is a beautiful photo of pigeons flying in the Big Square on a freezing winter day. There was a spot in the square where someone was feeding them and they were trying to get to that spot. You can see the pigeons flying in front of the City Hall on the right and Bruckenthal museum in the middle.
Beautiful image, isn't it?
