I took this photo from our apartment window in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, about 5 or 6 years ago. My caption for it at that time was "Bird's Eye View" . Can anyone else create a different caption for it?
A number of years ago I posted on this forum this photo I had taken and asked if anyone could write a relevant poem about it.
The article drew 43 comments. I doubt that this one will do anything close to that since these days there are issues that have greatly limited the interests of many NT members.
Of course he's banned from both Facebook and Twitter, he's in China. Newstalkers hasn't been banned here yet although there are a couple of members who are trying their best to get it banned here.
You think there was no fire escape? "Vas you dere, Charley?" (Baron Munchausen) It was a modern apartment building with multiple isolated interior fire escape stairs, not a tenement with outside escape stairs. There were swing-opening windows in every room - the photo I posted was taken through an OPEN window.
“He arrived to find that she'd left, discovering then that he was all alone…They'd abandoned their nest on the windowsill, and he was somehow certain that they'd never come back.”

I remember one that was sad but well written.
Read them all. (LINK) ->
Yours was pretty good - it was like a sonnet.
That was fun going thru those.
I think I'll do another one. It's nice to have a break from the usual bad news.
A bird's eye view?
I thought that was a pretty good caption. What do YOU suggest?
It's hard to improve on the most obvious. How about surveying an urban jungle?
So jump already!
Can only think of 1 thing with pigeons. "Which car to crap on".
LOL
Kind of what I was thinking, so many targets so little ammunition.
Good one too.
Noticed that this pigeon has been double banded is that common there or is that a domesticated pigeon? Pigeons here are rarely tagged.
I have no idea.
This stool pigeon has been banned from both Facebook and Twitter so it has resorted to being a poser on NewStalkers.

I'm early, where's my worm?
No worms up there.
Jailbird, awaits the incarceration he was Pigeon Toed of, as the canary's have begun to sing, just asz the coal Miners Daughter did, Coo...Coo...
The canaries began to sing long ago, but nobody bothered to listen.
That looks like a cockeyed pigeon.
U haz bread?
Yeah, I haz bread long ago - produced couple good kids.
Bread breeder? Nope, that pigeon ain't working the street. It's just loafing.
Maybe it's just trying to butter me up.
Wouldn't that make you the pigeon's pigeon?
Hey, buddy, you gonna eat that?

It may be guano but is it art?
Some art resembles guano (or is it some guano represents art?)
Anoon..
Is that pigeon pie they are eating down there!!
Well, it ain't bats.
Well it could be a distant rellie...(relation)..
LOL. Thanks for the translation.
Got another caption!!
Me about to jump...They have just announced the federal election date.. May 21st...
Just push me now...then later in the year a State election...it more than a koala can bare..🐨🐨
I don't intend to panda to your suggestion.
I guess with the election it will be a Pek ing into the future..
I think that bird was actually Peking at me.
It appears you live several floors up yet there are bars on your windows. Is there something you’re not telling us, Buzz? Apartment, or cell?
No egress window, safety measure to keep people from using it in case of fire since there is no fire escape there.
The window appears to be fixed in place, not operable. Imagine if every upper floor window without a fire escape had bars on it.
Operable or not it is still glass and can be broken to escape a fire. The window pane looks to be a simple double pane and not safety glass.

Only if the person escaping was wearing a parachute.
LOL. You can only see the lower part of the window. The bars are only waist high to prevent an accidental fall fhrough the window.
Fresh air, yes, but pure air...maybe by the year 2060.
I GOTTA GO POTTY AGAIN
So do I.
Maybe it's double-band indicates that it IS a military bird.
Less a caption than a short story in the making:

Fun exercise, Buzz…thanks.
You're welcome. A rare experience these days.
