I’m no ornithologist, but I’ve noticed a rather peculiar thing about the birds in my city. They tend to congregate on traffic singal wires, and perch themselves inside the light hood, standing on top of the hood below.
Every red and yellow light I’ve seen for the last few days has had a little black bird standing in it.
Are they doing this for warmth?
Respite from the wind?
It’s comedic, really.
