Ring of steel

Are bird cages made of steel? Probably!

I've seen birds do just that when the train is waiting to leave. It's cute until the door closes before they get out. (Although they are probably well-trained to recognize the "doors are closing" bell and scoot before they are trapped.)

I bet you're right

I've never seen a bird at any other stop on the orange line in my life.

(The orange and green lines end of it)
Both pigeons and sparrows are in there often in spring when the weather is fluctuating. They feel that rush of warm air from the open doors and in they go!

From my experience

I'd say pigeons are more of an issue at the North Station commuter rail waiting area then they are in the subway station. And not just in the spring, but year round.

for the Stony Brook turkey gang, no doubt.

Should we fly

Or do we have time to take the T?

I don't get it -

They can fly anywhere they want, why take the Orange Line?

Easy answer

The train is cheeper than flying.
