Among the many heartbreaking stories of loss that we heard in the wake of last year’s devastating blaze on DeKalb Avenue was the tale of the deaths of 500 homing pigeons who had lived on the roof of one of the buildings on the block. This week, we heard from local filmmaker Christian Carroll, who shared with us a sweet film about the birds and their owner, his neighbor Gil.
