Pigeons often flock in plazas waiting to be fed. So maybe this is saying to the pigeons that they don't even get corn today. In other words, "It's not going to happen."

Good morning, Morbo.

I'm going to guess that it means "absolutely not!" (de ninguna manera)

Good morning! You're right but try to explain why's talking about pigeons and corn! :P - AntMexico, May 20, 2010
Neither the corn, or the birds to eat the corn, are going to show up. You get neither corn nor birds...you get nothing. - --Mariana--, May 20, 2010
