Warning about feeding the ducks at St Stephens Green

PREPARE FOR PIGEONS.

Thanks for the photos, Phil. Couldn't have photoshopped them to make me look less scaredy cat, no? At least Niamh got one of me looking fairly decent.



No pigeons - or 30 year old bloggers - were harmed in the shooting for this post. Honestly.

    They're lovely photos--neither too St. Francis nor Alfred Hitchcock; right in the middle as they should be LOL. Congratulations on remaining poopless!

    Actually, if you throw the bread in the air they all flap frantically in mid air - scary but deadly! Like the Matrix.

    Phil: Thanks again for these. Would love to see the others :)

    Ro: They certainly weren't. I'm just glad they hadn't got full stomachs!

    Niamh: I'm blaming your hat!

    Anthony: tremendous alright, and just a bit scary!

    Steph: You'd think I'd learn my lesson, wouldn't you?

    Susan: Having antiseptic wet wipes has become a must for me recently. Thank goodness for closeby chemists.

    Vlad: You should try it!

    Grannymar: I know, I know.

    TheChrisD: No better man. Send it on if and when :)

    English Mum: I wouldn't have been surprised if I had. It was that sort of day!

    Jothemama: I just didn't want to antagonise them (or their tummies). It is a bit deadly though, true.

    Voodoolady: I'm the same with mice or rats. *shudder*. I still think I'd hold a pet one though.

    Shop Girl: Ach, they're not that bad. More frightened of you than you them, etc. They also seemed to understand "no more, all gone now".

    Suzy: Great minds! I was singing that at the time. ;)

    David: I know, I know. I look older. You've told me.
