You'd never know what wonders are behind Court Street Pet Food -
unless of course you were in kindergarten at the Brooklyn New School.
Today we followed Sammy, the owner of the store, past bags of pet supplies to a small backyard. As we stepped into the light we saw a large coop filled with pigeons. Sammy explained that these were homing pigeons. He let them fly out every day and they always find their way back home by three o'clock! They even found their way back from Connecticut!
We sketched in our science notebooks, we asked questions and we even got to pet a one year old bird.
