Jardin du Palais Royal - tout seul

All alone, listening to music, 

a hundred feathered friends keeping you company...

Jardin du Palais Royal - le weekend

Jardin du Palais Royal

On a Saturday morning, 

these three were feeding pigeons in the garden of Palais Royal.  

The little girl looks a bit frightened by the numbers of these assertive birds.  

Still, a glorious spot for spending a weekend morning with family.

bon weekend

Marché aux Oiseaux - Place Louis Lépine

Marché aux Fleurs

(Marché aux Oiseaux)

On Sundays the Marché aux Fleurs becomes the Marché aux Oiseaux (Bird Market) 

with a chatty selection of birds, from the ordinary to the rare.   You may find hens, chickens, roosters, rabbits, fish, Guinea pigs.  

If you are looking for color, the birds will oblige your request.

Jardin du Palais Royal - les pigeons

Jardin du Palais Royal

In a fence row of about 25 feet (7.62 meters) there were 

side-by-side pigeons who had spaced themselves almost perfectly, 

although they could not agree on the direction.

Pigeons are not my preference as photographic subjects, but

the sight of 42 pigeons lined up on a fence was worth a click or two.
