"So, pigeons," Cara said.
"They're smart lil' guys," Magnus said, trying to pet one before it fluttered away from him. "But maybe a little tetchy about the petting thing."
Which saddened him greatly.
"Despite the reputation they have in this world, they're remarkably useful for sending messages." If you didn't have journey books or were squeamish about the whole blood as ink thing. "Tasty too."
"Is that what I smell?" Magnus asked. "Huh. You know what? I'll totally give it a try!"
Maybe traumatize the squirrels a little bit with it.
"Much better than squirrel." Cara was perfectly happy to lean into that. Leroy knew what he did.
"Okay, so let's all get some grub and get these pigeons to trust us!" WHILST EATING THEIR BRETHREN.
Like the pigeons wouldn't try to get stuck into the food if offered.

Re: Handle Those Pigeons
And not Brooklyn ones who already knew to be afraid of her.
Still, Rosa was less concerned about the birds pecking at her feet and more concerned about the fact that she couldn't figure out whether she was disgusted by Cara's cooking or admired the hell out of her for it.
Especially since she was pretty sure the latter had very little to do with actual cooking.
