Corn but no pigeons Corn but no pigeons Zeljko Lale

What has happened to all the pigeons in Dubrovnik?

Written by  Jul 27, 2017

Where did the Dubrovnik pigeons go? For the past two days the corn that is given to the pigeons of the historic Old City of Dubrovnik has gone uneaten. In the market in Gundelic Square in the heart of the city corn is thrown for the pigeons every day at midday.

Normally there is a huge flock of pigeons who circle the square at least fifteen minutes before the birdseed is thrown but for the last two days the corn has remained intact and the pigeons are nowhere to be seen.

“Where have all the pigeons gone?” is the question that people in the city are asking. Is nature trying to tell us something and have all the pigeons go into hiding in the face of a impending natural disaster...or are they just all full?
