What's the Story?: Museum Gardens and York City Centre

I partook in some more primary research today by heading out around the York Museum Gardens and later York City Centre to take photographs of Pigeons within the area.

In the park I was lucky enough to witness several people feeding the pigeons and seagulls and jumped on the opportunity to take photos of the 'kits' of pigeons.





This will benefit me when I come to produce my book as I can reference these images in my study of pigeon physiology. I found it quite interesting that in certain areas feeding pigeons is discouraged while it was quite actively happening here. It amuses me that years ago when pigeons were necessary for delivering letters they were well kept, now they are pretty much treated as vermin...
