The birds of Pompidou

Outside the Pompidou Centre in Paris, an old man with bags of food is feeding hundreds of birds, mostly pigeons and seagulls. As well as the usual bread, he has bags of seafood - the birds are climbing all over him, fighting each other and making an incredible amount of noise in what is clearly a very familiar ritual for both man and bird.
