[Music]
from the first time I seen I was I was
in love I’ll be honest that was my love
at first sight as they come down slow it
just moved a is good you figure this
that’s it the team I think this is just
great to me listen what other hobby can
you have that you can release a live
creature that could fly up in an sky you
can go anywhere you want because I have
no strings on them and you can see they
have no anybody want do what they want
but guess what they want to come back
home because you know why because
they’re taken care of well that’s what I
love I love to fly my birds fly my birds
and just you know think you just take
care like just do life that’s it one day
at a time but it just makes it go by a
little bit easier you know
I come from the baddest neighborhood in
Brooklyn you know and I’ve been into my
troubles but guess what when the
modularity of time I was gonna roof fly
my pigeons so therefore I was keeping
out of trouble I was keeping away from
the streets keep me away from the drugs
I never smoked a drink in my life so
therefore you know I’m 50 years old now
now I grew up in Brownsville Brooklyn
where drugs and alcohol was rampant I
could have anything I wanted any given
time but that wasn’t my calling you know
I wanted to do I’ll be up here with the
birds until summertime I could literally
go up on the roof or the birds at seven
o’clock in the morning and literally
come down by 9:30 at night when it’s
dark outside and that’s a full day for
me and I’ll be up there cleaning flying
trying to catch other people birds other
people truckers my birds whatever but
I’m having a ball and I wouldn’t trade
any of it for the world I’ve been only
40 years now 40 years I’ve been doing
this and I still love the same way I
picked up the first day when I first
seen those pigeons fly are still over
the same way okay if I wasn’t on the
roof all summer long I’m in brown fish
guns popping things going down robberies
whatever my friends died in you know
from different from things drugs
shootings whatever oh how are you fitted
was a save you know I mean the business
I’m on a rooftop so I my fish I mean I’m
a pig watching what’s going on down
there you know so yeah hell yeah it
would definitely save you
[Music]
what sort of user now after selling you
here I just for me to feed them comforts
them yeah I mean it calms them to know
that I’m not you know chasing them and
it’s safe no predators around except for
the hawk to sit on that antenna over
there but other than that you know just
comforting to them but then you have
also when I go oh they know that’s a
different sound to make them act
accordingly
when it comes down to put them work in
the pigeon today they could get me to
clean their poop whatever you know it’s
like there’s no job that I’d say I won’t
do for nothing
out of 365 days out the year I probably
pay more than likely about 330 of them
if I’m not doing something that worked
or whatever it up I’m here this is where
I’m at that’s what I enjoy doing you
know you can find me any given time on
my roof this is what we do this is just
the front of everything you know maybe
when I’m 80 and I can’t get up to the
roof anymore maybe I’ll start taking
care of street pigeon who knows you know
who knows what’s gonna happen right now
my foot main focus my main phone would
have been for the past 40 years as they
enjoy my Birds
