You're more likely to see dick graffiti'd on the side of a pigeon spotted van than a dyck.

I assume the birds never got paid for their contribution.

The pigeons fancy themselves as art critics. I guess they figure they have one up on the rats or chickens. Imagine if this painting was stashed in a dairy barn.

In the context of pigeon-dropping-covered art, I certainly would avoid being termed a collector.

The value of something can be attributed to its association with a famous or notable figure, even if it is something as mundane as their excrement.

The worth of an object can be linked to its connection with a well-known or noteworthy individual, even if it is as ordinary as its waste material.
