Stumpy

Have you ever noticed that city pigeons rarely have all of their toes? Sometimes they don't have any -- they just have a stump where their little pigeon foot should be. I've been tracking this for awhile and have concluded that it's almost impossible to find a pigeon in the Bay Area with all of its toes still on. I'm really perplexed about what happens to them. The toes, I mean.

    when popcorn kernels are hard to find, the pigeons turn on each other and nibble the toes off the weak.
