Restless Pigeons

Trafalgar Square in London

It is a common sight to see pigeons in KK. There are two places you can spot these pigeons. Early morning at Jalan Gaya and another one at the Australian Building near the row of printing shops. They are so tame and use to be there all the time. Maybe some of the shop owner usually feeds them and it became a special landmark for those pigeons.

In Keningau, small birds will swarm the telephone and electrical cables around the town of Keningau especially at dusk. Well, it is sleeping time for those birds. One of my friends told me that those birds are there because they are attracted to the lights. Others said that due to the destruction of their habitats, these birds have no choice but to migrate.

In other countries, it is an attraction for the tourists. just like Trafalgar Square in London, UK. They are so famous that it became an icon on the tourist map.
