Pigeons: Rats with wings!
  • Tip Rating:
  • I am putting this here because pigeons can bring diseases. Yes, the pictures are lovely. Yes, it's so quintessentially Venetian to have hordes of the flying rats in St. Mark's square. how pretty!

    But remember:

    Pigeons + kids = cute cute cute.

    Pigeons - kids = damn ***ting birds.

    don't touch them and don't let them land on you! I cringe when I see people with them on their arms or even their head.

    I can't remember who told me this now, but they admitted that after the birds experience they had a strange rash for a while. So please avoid them! yech.

     Great "Palazzo Non-Finito" tip. Have you heard the story about a few *** of a different size (for different occasions)? Peggy had been denying that :-)

     What a superbly written intro & I did enjoy your tell it like it is style. Viaggio qui anno prossimo - Aprile! But, unfortunately I'll probably only have enough time for a couple of days. Ciao da Sydney.
