Another strange image before the Pope was chosen

While the world was waiting for the new Pope to be revealed, before the white smoke was even rising, birds were resting on the chimney at St. Peter's Square..
Perhaps only odd because of the Pope's name. St. Francis of Assisi had a love for animals...his is often painted with birds circling him. And then Cardinal Bergoglio chosen St. Francis as his name, after Francesco di Pietro di Bernardone....

Interesting stuff. I'm sure purely coincidental.  right?
