Vatican dove attacked by both sea gull and raven
A dove which was freed by children with Pope Francis during his Angelus prayer, is attacked by a black crow in St. Peter’s Square, at the Vatican, Sunday, Jan. 26, 2014. Two white doves were sent fluttering into the air as a peace gesture by Italian children flanking Pope Francis Sunday at an open studio window of the Apostolic Palace, as tens of thousands of people watched in St. Peter’s Square below. After the pope and the two children left the windows, a seagull and a big black crow quickly swept down, attacking the doves, including one which had briefly perched on a windowsill on a lower floor. One dove lost some feathers as it broke free of the gull, while the crow pecked repeatedly at the other dove. The doves’ fate was not immediately known. (AP Photo/Gregorio Borgia)
