Hello:
Seems like finding pigeons, squirrels, etc. in some of the smaller parks are more difficult. Bryant Park for example has been turned into a fashion runway and overpriced restaurant park. Madison Sq. Park seems empty of wildlife, as does Union Square Park. Central Park reminds me more of Grand Central Station than a quiet haven for city folk. Is this Mayor Bloomberg's doing or his pal Doctoroff?
Back when, these parks used to be a quiet place to sit down, relax, paint, or read a book. Now it's similar to Times Square on New Years Eve every day. Things are getting worse for all wildlife, with the two legged variety taking over.
What a waste of resources.

Please help. A bird in need of care and attention seems unable to fly and is located in the planter beneath the tree outside 362 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, between Hoyt and Bond. The name of the store at this address is Legacy. Bird does not appear to be a pigeon but rather a young species of some sort -- grey, losing feathers on sides of head and possibly at top of wings, and also has what appears to me to be a chopped off tail. It has a big and odd beak; not like a pigeon's. I don't know whether it is sick, injured, or too young too fly. It is alone. The shopkeeper at Legacy filled two little plastic cups -- one with water and one with bread crumbs. Bird made effort to clean its breast and moved around when I observed it but seems unable to move beyond the planter. Resigned and docile, didn't flinch when I got close. Please help. I took pictures on my cell, which I can send.
