In the photo above, a small boy is seen feeding a colony of pigeons near the Sindh Secretariat, Karachi.

Photo is taken on October 4, 2008 and is courtesy of Syed Abbas Mehdi.

When I first saw the photo, the sheer number of pigeons reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 movie called The Birds. Photo to the right is a scene from the movie ‘Birds’.

    Owais:
    I’m not sure how did this pic reminded you of Hitchcock’s movie? There were no pigeons in the movie.

    Your post reminds me all the pigeons floating Karachi sky. Karachiites love to feed it. There are several pigeon (kabootar) photos are on Flikr. One of my fav. is this one http://preview.tinyurl.com/6quk3e
