pigeons,sculpture, god and man

I walked through central park today and made some observations about art and life. One thing I noticed is the affinity that pigeons have for sculpture. Alex watched as they hovered around bronze figures like Bowery drunks around a bottle. One may question why do they not prefer painting which is a higher art than sculpture? Maybe God looked down and saw man's sculpture and said that he can make them better by adding his little grey, flying, final touches. If a true genius artist wished to "one up" god, he could start by adding bronze or marble pigeons to his sculpture, thus beating god to the punch, so to speak, and so on...
