On Newkirk there's an entire nest made of poop. It's taller than a pigeon and has an indent. I guess it's safe, if nothing else! 😆

If you're really gonna go, you have to take the left-side staircase down to the Manhattan platform and look towards the Brooklyn platform. The nest will be on the slanted roof. :D

My first thought was, “Is that Newkirk??” But a second glance proved otherwise. The Newkirk pigeons are such clever little dumdums.

Yes, they're like a whole different breed. There are regularly two babies sitting on the little unused windowsill set into the wall on the other side of the tracks from the platform. Trains come barreling towards them just inches away and they're like ._. the whole time because they know they are safe.

NYC pigeons go hard, but Newkirk pigeons go harder. So proud of my bb BK birbs.
Btw- I highly recommend reading this fascinating history of Newkirk Plaza. It even talks about the windows you mentioned!
