Though not exotic unicorn pigeons, I must be on the same wavelength as Blanco. Yesterday I passed this bakery who had just dumped some old bread bits outside and the pigeons were coming to feast.
Don't let Productsuperiorjenn fool you- she is a fair weather pigeon friend. Just last week she wad shooing some pigeons off our air conditioner because they were too noisy. She sees some fancy pigeons and now she declares her love for pigeons on the internet.
I on the other hand love the normal "working class" pigeons as much as the fancy bougouise birds. Therefore I love this photo. I can almost hear the cooing and sense the stubborn refusal to move as I open the door. I enjoy the shift of scale between the pigeon sized world below and the human sized world above. The fact that it's a bakery is even better.
On a side note that bakery is straight eastern block fascist looking. You would like some cupcakes eh, comrade?
It's like the social afternoon on the lawn, but with pigeons on concrete!
I really enjoy seeing everyone's photos and how they contain a bit of the person's personality. This photo is very Conte to me. Plus, as John observed, you can tell who is a designer a lot with how all your photos seem to have some sort of text. Maybe there's some truth there?
Now don't start changing because of the awareness!

About us:
We know many different types of people: Old and young. Some with background studies in the arts and others in the Sciences. Some may be self-taught tradesmen. Although they have divergent careers and very different upbringings, we've found that many have a common interest in photography.
We all love to press the shutter button, hear that tiny "click" and know that an image is made. Maybe it's a portrait, maybe a landscape, or maybe just a happy accident—the images taken are as different as the individuals that took them.
We formed Le Clique to bring together all of those different people, give them a forum to post their work, and enjoy the juxtapositions, harmony, and contrast between the things they love to photograph. Our contributors have two very simple rules: you must take the photo yourself and it must be for the simple joy of taking it.

I don't think they do cupcakes there. Just that Russian Black Bread. And you have to know the special knock to get in.
Yes on the text! All photos should have some sort of type in them.
