Giant sculpture of a pigeon in New York has the city in a flutter

Visitors are flocking to New York City's famed High Line to see its latest art installation.

The 16-foot-tall pigeon sculpture has the city in a flutter.

Artist Iván Argote's sculpture titled "Dinosaur" depicts an enormous pigeon looking out over New York's 10th Avenue.

"This is hilarious," said Joaquin Eleno, a visitor to New York City's High Line. "I looked at it, I laughed. I didn't think it was real. And then I confirmed with another person. And all I could feel was excitement in my heart.

"Dinosaur" will loom over the intersection of 10th Avenue and 30th Streets for the next 18 months.
