311 complaint of the day: Somebody's tying pigeons' legs together on the Common - again

By adamg on Sun, 09/08/2024 - 10:14am

An outraged resident filed a 311 complaint yesterday about the cruel activity on the Common yesterday:

Someone is back to tying string around pigeons legs. Thank God I have my eye glasses and fine scissors to remove the string when I am able to catch the bird. I just caught a newborn pigeon and removed an 18 inch long screen tied to its ankle with black string in the Central Burying Grounds. I hope it is not the same person that was arrested a month ago at Downtown Crossing.

Yours is the only inoffensive comment so far.

Cruelty is entertainment and appetite arousing for some pathetic creatures.

Raising Canes, based on the amount of branded trash around DTX in the past week, is doing great.

Overcrowding

Last night I decided that I was going to try out Cane's in DTX.

Right as I was walking up, BFD was there shutting it down for over crowding. (this was about 5pm)

So yeah, they are doing very well. Not sure why the hype tho, I ended up getting food at their Boylston Street location a quick subway ride away. The place was dead too. Not sure why DTX is over crowded.

Try Birdie's Yet?

Met my son there for lunch. It is now his fave of all the chains, aside from Neighborhood Kitchen in Medford. Certainly decent stuff for DTX.

The place in that whack food court on Federal St. is pretty great, too, just tricky to get into at lunch hour.

Agreed

Birdies really is great, I usually hit them on the days I don't carry my lunch to work. Raising Cane's is just fine, but I don't get the hype. Given a choice between the two, I always pick Birdies.
