Announcing - The Incredible Balancing Pigeon

Apparently a lot of pigeons get TB and this causes them to have painful feet which eventually shrivel and die back to a stump. Probably what is happening here...

Oh my! That was a bit of info I wasn't really expecting! Poor pigeon! (great shot though)

Such a cute capture. Hopefully he was just sleeping with his foot up.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Oh, so that's why so many of them have maimed feet - interesting. I like your photo.
