The other day, I happened to be in one of the main squares of Petach- Tikva city ( The "founders square"). I was totally stunned by the sight of about a hundred dark pigeons flocked there. It looked rather ominous.
Usually, pigeons are attracted by food, but no food here as there's a big white sign (see in the picture below) that forbids feeding them. Perhaps, it's the place itself that attracts them and, for some reason, makes them feel safe and comfortable.
They were gathered especially around a small stucture with a dome. I wished to approach the stucture, but was afraid of their reaction - mass flying over my head. It was midday; I saw no people or kids close to their area.
Anyway, I've noticed some lovely art on the fence surrounding the square : statues of a musical band members. Nice, enjoyable view for the pigeons too:)
