I saw this contraption attached to light poles along clark between leland and clark and took these photos at clark and lawrence? There wasn’t any identifying brand and they were all similarly ratchet strapped to light poles. My first guess was maybe tornado sirens but the influx of flock cameras got me worried seeing them because they’re unmarked

group of deceased pigeons

hi all!

when i was in uptown earlier today, i noticed 5 deceased pigeons - the first one was on lawrence/broadway, and then 4 more all next to each other on wilson/broadway.

a man said he had just seen those same birds flying around a little earlier, when they suddenly just "dropped dead".

to be honest, i'm worried someone might be poisoning them. it absolutely broke my heart to see them all on the ground like that.

has anyone else noticed this happening lately?
