Group of pigeons take residence on field during Steelers-Saints game

Now for something completely random, but also a little funny. 

A large group of pigeons has taken up residence on the field during Sunday's Steelers-Saints game, and they keep showing up on TV in the background.

They showed up a few weeks ago at the Steelers' most recent home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well.

What exactly keeps attracting them?

The Steelers recently re-sodded the grass surface at Acrisure Stadium and they are apparently showing up to feast on the leftover grass seed that came with that resurfacing.

Quite a buffet for them. As long as they can avoid getting trampled by the 22 large football players stomping around the field.
