the local beggar :P

It isn't the only one... there are a few of them that stick around waiting for the food to fall out (or be tossed out) of the cage. Many people here are scared of the pigeons... they think of them as flying rats. That isn't unique to Korea, though, as I know many people that are afraid of the birds.
When ever I see them... all I think is that if they were in Egypt... they would be food.
