A sign taped to the fence outside of Spector Playground inside Central Park at 86th Street features Yudy, a two-year-old pigeon that has apparently been “missing” since November. Have you seen Yudy? Can you catch Yudy? Then bring the pigeon back to the playground anytime Monday through Thursday from 11:50 a.m. until 12:50 p.m.
And whatever you do, don’t let the pigeon drive the bus!
Thanks to Lisa Kava for the photo.

There was an elderly lady holding an injured pigeon on 86th and Central Park West just a couple days ago. She was looking to bring him to a vet and I directed her to Animal General on Columbus.
That was very kind of you – if it happens again, the best place to send them is the Wild Bird Fund, which is right across the street from Animal General. (Animal General will send people there.) And if you want to support a good cause, WBF is a great one!
Has anyone located the little dog yet who’s been on all the posters since around 9 months ago? Reward is up to something like $5000.
I think he was in front of 70 West 94 St yesterday near the entrance of the garage.
Did you see a dog??? Chester a dog from a building on 70th street ran out of the building lobby yesterday morning around 6am heading north. I tried to help and looked for it for a couple of hours with no luck. Please if someone sees it let me know.
Will be praying you find Chester very soon.
Prayers for Yudy
