City pigeons and wood pigeons in the capital have learned to drink from the many drinking fountains in the city, or to cool off in them on hot summer days. When drinking, the birds sometimes stick their beaks deep into the small hole from which the water gushes out. It is unclear whether the animals' behavior could contaminate the water in the short term. Photo: Wolfram Steinberg/dpa Photo: Wolfram Steinberg/dpa
