Life List #3: Rock Pigeon

I had an unconscious rule that I'd try to aim for pictures I took this year, but since I don't have any pigeon photos I reached back to 2019 for this one.

When I lived in Toronto I used to commute to work/school through the College Park plaza between Bay and Yonge which was perennially absolutely covered in pigeons. This particular day was sopping wet - what pathos! what endurance! I will never forget you, College Park pigeons!

...it occurs to me they were probably the reason no one ever locked their bikes up here...

Anyway, despite the setting of this particular piece, have some more facts from Birds of Alberta

  • Pigeons are year-round birds in Alberta, usually hanging around reliable food in urban areas, rail yards, grain elevators, and occasionally cliffs.
  • A reliable source of food for winter raptors like merlins and gyrfalcons
  • First introduced to North America in the 17th century

Day 2. Of Placement Reflection / 06.01.2026 👩‍✈️❤️

On my second day of placement, I felt very happy and confident wearing the Cathay Pacific uniform. Red is one of my favorite colors, and wearing the uniform made me feel proud and professional. My shift was at the kiosk, and I felt much more comfortable compared to the first day, as it was my second time working in that area.

One of my best experiences was assisting a passenger who asked if I could print their boarding pass and baggage tag. I was happy to help, and after completing the task, the passenger asked if I was traveling on the flight. I explained that I was completing my placement with Cathay Pacific and shared my aspiration to work as a flight attendant with the airline in the future.

This interaction boosted my confidence and reinforced my passion for pursuing a career as a flight attendant. I am truly grateful to Seneca College and Cathay Pacific for providing me with this valuable opportunity, which has strengthened my skills, confidence, and career goals. 🤗🛬🛫
