The pigeons in the centre of Amsterdam have found a meeting place at the National Monument at Dam square. The coat of arms are of the twelve provincesof the Netherlands.
Sometimes cities will allow a pigeon hunt for those who want to come out to rid the areas of pigeons. They make a terrible mess, even if they do look kind of cute all lined up there.
Dearest Marianne, You mean 12 Provinces and not Counties as that is equivalent to 'Gemeente'. The pigeons even rest on the stone ones above the coat of arms for the Provinces! Hugs, Mariette
Would be fun to somehow take a poll among pigeons as to their favorite Amsterdam monuments. :-)

BeantwoordenVerwijderenThose pigeons know all the best spots Marianne :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOkay, I cannot help but think of all the pigeon poop on top of that wall. First thought that came to mind.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenImpressionnant !
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like the look of the monument!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWell, the pigeons add a nice touch to the rim of the statue. They also probably leave some other products!

It's good to have a meeting place!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAt first glance, I thought those were people up there.

They look right at home there. I'll bet they make a mess though!
