Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 145 / Pigeons

in #hive-106444last year

Hello everyone.
Since it is free theme for this week #SMaP I went for pigeons. They are often see in many cities and Sarajevo is not exception.
Today we went for a walk to Baščaršija or Old Bazaar in Sarajevo. In the center of Old Bazaar there is Sebilj or water fountain that is built in Ottoman period. Here around Sebilj there are lot of pigeons. They wait for food. You can buy food and feed them. They will jump on your hand and all over you. These pigeons are not afraid of people. When you think of Old Bazaar and Sebilj pigeons also come to your mind.
The guy that is selling food for pigeons ( I think it is wheat or some type of similar grain ) from time to time throws food and all pigeons run at same place. People buy this bird food and feed them themselves as well. While at Old Bazaar I took couple of photos of pigeons eating and people feeding the pigeons.
It is very interesting to watch pigeons fly around and wait for food.

This is look at Old Town center and Sebilj. Pigeons come to around fountain to get some food and they drink water here as well.

This is place where they sell food for pigeons.
