Pigeons making site-specific art At the De Young museum in San Francisco, I saw these two pigeons making a nest. The male would go off, painstakingly search for a leaf, and then tuck it under his partner.

No matter what route you follow, the destination looks the same… As a way of keeping my video skills sharp, I’ve decided to edit and put online a one minute long video every day.
