Bird flu?

Airwell pigeon

Some people have expressed some concern to me about bird flu here in Turkey. You don't hear anything about it hitting the rich cities in western Turkey, like Izmir. But the little old man doesn't sell bird seed outside the metro stop any more, and the square where all the pigeons gather was washed once. The only thing that concerns me is this sad sight. Before we left for Egypt two pigeons used to roost in the airwell outside our hall window every night. When we came back there was only one.
