Why Do Pigeons Look So Busy?

In today’s episode of Train of Thought, we follow an unlikely philosopher of the urban landscape: the pigeon.

You’ve seen them — darting across sidewalks like they’ve got somewhere very important to be. Strutting like tiny bureaucrats in feathered suits. They peck, they pace, they panic. But… why?

We invite you into a playful, yet profoundly meditative exploration of city life, Camus, and the peculiar theater of daily motion. “Why Do Pigeons Look So Busy?” starts with a light chuckle and ends somewhere closer to existential permission — to move with purpose even when the purpose is unclear, to find grace in absurdity, and to peck at meaning without demanding a full explanation.

This episode blends street philosophy with saxophone undertones and commuter-friendly humor, perfect for anyone who’s ever spilled a latte while contemplating the meaning of work. Or wondered if they, too, are just flapping through life on muscle memory.

So, as you navigate cracked sidewalks, delayed trains, or another inbox full of “circling back” emails, consider this your invitation: To be a little more pigeon.
Not in diet. Or hygiene. But in attitude.

Strut a little—Peck at the mystery. And maybe—maybe—stop waiting for the grand revelation and start dancing with the absurd.

Train of Thought — your daily detour into delightful overthinking.
