Pigeons

[Magpie]

REVISION:

City Pigeons

Tucked into humanity’s corners,
they coo and squabble,
flutter their gossip, - good opening
flee in noisy flight with flashes
of purple and green iridescence. - theses two lines seem a bit cluttered, there's a lot of alliteration. Also you could drop 'purple and green' or 'iridescence' 

Ledges, lampposts, lines of trees
and lonely statues are worthy perches. - alliteration again stretching it
The waft of wings on the back of my neck
comes sudden and bold,
like a declaration. - not sure about the inclusion of this stanza, seems like filler

One meanders, retracing steps,
without any sense of destination.
In fact, its course is quite attentive,
puff-chested and knight-hooded,
around a nodding female.

Others gather as I open a bag,
with no intention of sharing my lunch.
The daring court conflict,
while the careless are unconcerned by cars
and add touches to the city’s scenery:

a flat, red mess stamped on road, - 'stamped'?? -
a blur of droppings like TV static, - I like this line, (reminds me of the cosmic microwave background)
feathers scattered in bursts of fury,
their dramas set amongst us. - good ending

Good edit, I think you've made it a wee bit too lengthy now with those extra stanzas, take out the 'filler' bits and keep the gems.

Cheers for the read
