I took my 14 mo. daughter to village pond park today. It was our first time. We enjoyed it.

It’s Saint Mark. If they had that law in London, every kid under five would be in police custody.

I’m trying to remember what it was like when I was there about 5 years ago. I saw it from a tour bus — I only had two days in London after one of those whirlwind tours of Europe. All I really remember is the tour guide talking about the pigeon food they sold being laced with contraceptives. On the other hand, that could have been Venice. I’m reasonably certain that it was in St. Marks that it was illegal to kick a pigeon. I did keep a travel diary, but it seems I didn’t write down those details.

Do the pigeon death squads use peanuts coated with cyanide?

We don’t have some many pigeons in Trafalgar Square now. It’s now an offence to feed them, and I think that there may well be Pigeon Kill Squads.

Thanks… I feel kind of dumb for not realizing that they were another kind of bird entirely. I just figured they were a kind of duck I hadn’t seen before, and the talk about ducks on the signs just reinforced that impression.

We’re pretty far from Ontario here (Southern California), so I assume they must be migrating already. That would explain the sheer numbers: it was probably a migrating flock making a rest stop at the pond.

Those look like Canadian Geese.

We have loads of them up here in ontario Canada.
