This T-Rex-sized pigeon is coming to NYC.

The aptly named 16-foot tall “Dinosaur” statue, created by artist Iván Argote, is coming to New York’s High Line Plinth in October, where it’ll spend 18 months menacing locals. Argote told Curbed that he wanted the piece to invoke a sense of familiarity with those who often observe pigeons in the city:

“I really want people to have that feeling. It’s like, Ah, I’ve seen you, man. Here you are. Here you are.”
