Birds and rat squirrel fight over slice of pizza in Tompkins Square Park

So some birds were enjoying a slice today near Tompkins Square Park, as this photo from Bobby Williams shows...



Then! Lurking! A rat! Steals the slice...[Updated: Err, maybe it's a squirrel. Sorry. Still.]



Sort of slo-mo via the Grievestrator...



And guess what? The birds got it back...



Safety in numbers. And don't fuck with the Park's birds.

Looks like a squirrel to me.

Alfred Hitchcock would be proud of those birds!

Hey Marty. Grieve failed to mention that later in the day, one of the birds called me up and ordered a Wombacher and a slice of cheesecake.

You fly back to school, now, little Starling. Fly, fly, fly...

@BagelGuy: Ha ha ha! Glad those birds have good taste! I'll be back in October and will be stopping by for sure, thanks for keeping "The Wombacher" on the menu even though I moved!

Any update on which $1 joint the slice was from?

@ Makeout

It's still at the lab!

Wow either that slice must suck ass or some kind soul left it there for the most unsung New Yorkers.

I'm gonna buy a slice and let the birds have at it one day.

'Cool thing about someone leaving the slice for the birds is if it is a dollar slice, that's all it cost to feed them and that's alot of food for these creatures. They definitely get their protein and carbs.
