"I see pigeons as proud flaneurs, promenading through our leisure and retail precincts," [the artist] said.
You gotta admit that's pretty cute, as pesky as they are

Love it, just hate the location. There are so many empty spaces further east down the mall (i.e. just by Twin Street), seems like they are cramming this on the side of the mall where there's already a lot going on.

That looks very silly and I'm sure there will be lots of complaining voices.
Which means it's perfect.

If it's the same type of complaints the pigs got then it's a good sign!

Love the pigeon
Next rundle mall bird to be immortalised as a statue must be those tiny bastards that shoot through the mall straight at your head at 1000kph before missing you by a cm, typically around 8 in the morning

Guess he's a messenger pigeon and slightly more noble than the humble street rat-with-wings.
Gotta say, whatever the aesthetic merit (debating art is good!), it's a bargain price. Especially given the media he's gained around the country today.

Succumbed to the idiocy of the surgical mask...
Of course it is fake. But who says someone won't get the idea. Got the pic forwarded to me from some Facebook page.
