Two pigeons were pecking at crumbs on an empty café table. I sat nearby, sipping my coffee and watching them. They were so focused on their little treasure hunt, completely unfazed by the bustling city around them. Every now and then, one would flick its head up as if checking for danger, then dive back down. It felt peaceful just to sit and enjoy their unhurried search for snacks.
