Columba livia - QUEEN OF THE HILL
Maybe she liked the rumble of the trucks and cars on the rail bridge or the sound of wild cats and dogs fighting for mating rights
Maybe she heard the water flowing from the purple and red clay mountains down the dry river before they arrived.
Maybe she liked the way we clustered around the bridge while she sat there as queen of the hill.

They are very similar to us humans, they like each other, they are jealous of each other and they protect each other.
And some are cheaters, not all, but some are. And we say they are stupid, but they are not. Their instinct is just stronger. Instinct is sometimes stronger than principles. In humans, reason also fails now and then.
Maybe she is listening to the sound of the train and hums the rhythms of the city with her fellow travelers.
Maybe she wants to have a safe nest with golden feathers that protect her in the greatest wind.
Maybe she likes to be with us, sitting there as queen of the hill.
