Kilgannon in this article talks about a man, called William McLeod and his relationship towards pigeons in New York. One day he decided to take care of two hurt pigeons in the park, and took them hom to nurture them, since that day his passion towards these "rats with wings" only grew. He started to create bonds with the birds, "Mr. MacLeod recognizes and has names for perhaps 40 of them." and personally he adopted seven pigeons. MacLeod was adopted that is he has sympathy for the "forgotten pets" says Kilgannon. The article describes how MacLeod trained them not to poop on his shoulders, or how to take the poop off in case it happened, showing his personal contact with the pigeons. The author finishes off the aricle with the signs on park that say "do not feed the pigeons" and says how security from the park came to tell him the article would not apply for him.
This article is really interesting and provides lots of facts, although most of them are not important and necessary to the purpose for the article. Kilgannon says the names and the reasons MacLeod came up for each of them, and it slows down the pace of the reading, making it less smooth to read. The language is really simple and straight to the point, making it an easy read, although the transitions between subjects could be a better, to avoid abrupt change of subject. The image enriches his text, it illustrates MacLeod love and care for the pigeons which he takes care usually, it shows his happiness and feelings towards the animals, portraying his facial expression. One fact that the author mentioned that was really interesting connection to be made is that MacLeod was adopted and it is why he finds wympathy with the pigeons that usually everyone despises Overall the article is very informative and interesting which is the author's goal.
