Sparrows and Doves

We were at Costco on Thursday having our $1.50 hot dog and soda.

There are huge signs asking people to please NOT feed the birds. However, I could see that some people disregard those messages... or perhaps not. Perhaps the hot dogs were just dropped on the ground by some young child not used to eating such a huge meal.

I was surprised that the birds were eating the meat.


Whatever the case, I've been noticing that a lot of the doves have misshapen feet. They are missing claws and are walking clumsily on tottering stubs.

Interestingly, the sparrows feet are just fine. I wonder why. I did notice that doves walk while sparrows hop. Could that be the reason?

It's just really strange.
