Explanation:

To determine the narrator's perspective, we analyze the text:

1. The narrator uses third - person pronouns like "Kiko", "she", "they" to refer to the characters. There is no use of first - person pronouns (like "I") to indicate that the narrator is a character in the story, and also no use of second - person pronouns (like "you") to directly address the reader as a participant.
2. The narrator has an omniscient or at least a third - person objective view as they are able to describe the actions and surroundings of Kiko and other elements (like the bus, the woman with the stroller, the pigeons) from a detached, external point of view, reporting on what is happening without being a part of the story's action.

The narrator uses third - person pronouns (e.g., "Kiko", "she", "they") to describe the characters' actions and the events. The narrator is not a character in the story (no "I" used) and does not directly address the reader (no "you" used), instead reporting events from an external, observational point of view.

Answer:

Narrator’s Perspective: Third - person objective (or third - person)
