These birds aren’t just Brooklyn Parrots, they’re Gowanus ones. The photos come from Christian Hanson, a GL reader who, for a time, was doing a blog called walksbklyn.

This very chill German Shepard has been a resident of this back yard on Wythe Avenue for many, many years. Recently someone added a sign asking that he not be feed by strangers as he eats a lot and has dietary restrictions. Lack of food is not one of his problems, then, although the backyard […]

It’s hard to know for certain where the chickens on the streets of Greenpoint come from, but most likely, they are coming from a chicken-related business in a building near the site of the burned Greenpoint Terminal Market. No matter. What can someone do when one of our feathered friends is being menaced by some […]

As of this morning, there are still no reports of the cute dog who was found seriously injured in Park Slope being reunited with his owner. The dog was found wearing a collar and with a leash, so he clearly belongs to someone. Still, the person who lost him and the good soul that found […]

The story of Samantha, the dog-napping victim from Windsor Terrace, has ended happily, although the story is still strange and disturbing.
