Featured Video: The Pigeon and the Horse

Filmmaker Julien Guntz, the artist behind the popular Like Horses series, sent us this short clip of a mismatched but agreeable pair. The unnamed pigeon appears to be enjoying his heated seat atop a handsome chestnut. The horse, for his part, doesn’t seem the least bit bothered by his feathered rider as he dozes in the winter sunshine.

It worked this time for me. Seems like the second pigeon was like I'm moving in too! First pigeon says I don't think so! LOL!

Well I've never seen a pigeon come even near a horse. This is really unique for sure!
