Over 5,000 sign petition to keep giant High Line pigeon statue

MANHATTAN (WABC) -- The sculpture of a giant pigeon at the High Line and its run as an art installation has a growing petition to keep right where it is.

It already has more than 5,000 signatures on change.org.

The petition urges city officials to keep the sculpture called "Dinosaur" permanently perched.

It's been on display at Manhattan's High Line elevated park for a year and a half and is scheduled to be taken down next month.

"Dinosaur" is the fourth in High Line's rotating arts program.

The next piece set to replace it is a 27-foot-tall sandstone sculpture of Buddha.
