“some cities forbid feeding the pigeons”

Pigeons make wonderful table fare for the budgeting urban dweller.

Back in the early 70s when I was working in Manhattan I saw a large flock of pigeons on the sidewalk feeding on something scattered about. Suddenly a man appeared out of the nearby alleyway with a large, long handled fishing style landing net and scoped up a bunch of them, doing a half-flip of the handle to trap them inside.

I wonder which restaurant had the pigeon special that night?
