Nearly everywhere I travel, I find the avian population dominated by pigeons, even in coastal towns where gulls find a home, too. But Berlin appears to be an exception. There are pigeons, but they don't dominate.
There were a lot of little fellows like those above, especially where outdoor food was available. At one point, I had several perched at the edge of my table, waiting to see if I was going to eat the whole meal.
Others had been given plates of their own...
...or a lofty official position.
In Friedrichshain Park, a pair of swans seemed disinclined to share their little island with a duck...
But not to say there were no pigeons. This one was standing guard on the roof of the Reichstag building.
