No, I don&#8217;t mean pigeons in general, I&#8217;m referring to those that choose or are forced to live in relatively poor neighborhoods, they&#8217;re a bit different than the middle class pigeons you see up above. Look at the cocky bastards, all healthy looking and semi-disinterested in the fancy birdseed someone left for them at the Downtown Library, they almost seem selective about the stuff they eat. I remember when the Downtown pigeons were the scrawniest and greasiest vermin with wings, they&#8217;d eat anything you threw at them. Maybe they were pushed out by these gentrifying birdseed gourmands.  In Lincoln Heights, the birds are still mostly working class, and they eat what we eat.

If I were a pigeon, I&#8217;d be on this free food in no time! Well, assuming I had a tiny bottle of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tapatiohotsauce.com\/index.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Tapatio<\/a> under my wing, that&#8217;ll give some flavor to any dry, tasteless beans.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chanfles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/pigeon5.jpg\" alt=\"pigeon5.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Keeping with the Mexican food fare, LH pajaros also get some shredded tortillas as part of their diet.
