Rant-Flying Poop Sacks

Its no secret that I have an intense dislike for pigeons. Pigeons are the scourge of the urban landscape. They are bad enough in public places, even worse when they find a roost somewhere near your home. Whereever they are, they leave plenty of evidence of their existence. They befuddle buildings, statues, bus stops, etc. I wish people would stop feeding them too. Tourists and other folks think its so damn cute to have a pigeon come up and feed out of your hand. Isnt it just so adorable to drop a piece of bread and have one of these flying poop sacks swoop in to eat it. You are not doing us any favors by ingratiating yourself to them. They just learn not to fear us. I expect pigeons to clear a path when I walk through. Now, they look at you with disdain when you dont feed them. They also turn their backs on you thinking with their little pea brains, "Whateverrrrrrrr!" While they wait for their next meal, they might as well poop all over. Coo coo coo, PLOP!! Coo, PLOP!! PLOP!! Eat,eat,eat,PLOP!! You catch them in the act and they are all like, "What? Whaaaaaaat?!?!"

Matters are worse when they find a home around your home. Then they poop all over your stuff! The house, your car, anything left outside is fair game. Here, they also become habituated to idle threats of foot stomping or loud noises. You need to present a real physical threat or they will walk, coo, PLOP!! all over you
