Actually by the MTA Coney Island yard in Brooklyn where my son works.

I was surprised to learn that at one time they were domesticated, and we basically abandoned them.

I had a neighbor who raced them. He had a coop above his garage.

I don't know how he did it, but now and then we'd see maybe all of them circling the 'hood.

When I was a kid we had a neighbor one street over from us that used to let out their flock a couple of times a day. You'd see then circling around for awhile. As a kid I just wasn't able to grasp what was going on but it was fun to watch.

It was quite a novelty when we would see them all flying.

This guy was at least 50, he met his demise in bed with a younger lady that was not his wife...
