Unlikely animal friendship blossoms when a carriage-pulling horse shares its food with pigeons

Pigeons need love too.

They share the streets, so they might as well share their food.

A tourist captured this video of a very generous carriage-pulling horse feeding pigeons near Central Park by spitting some of its food onto the ground for them:

Because the horse's head took up too much space inside the bucket, the pigeons couldn't sneak their way in to steal a snack. But, the horse had its bros' backs and fed them from its own stash. After all, city animals need to stick together.

If only we could all be as considerate and kind as this charitable steed.
