    Pac— cheers. They looked so cute today sitting on the bellpoll. I was standing literally a few centimetres away from them.

    Sjoerd They can be cute depending on where they hang out. The pair that hang out here up on the high on the old phone wires also happens to be right over the trash bins . I will say their aim is usually right on the handle … ugh.. or on the other side where they hang out over the driveway usually gets the poor mailman’s windshield…:sete_054:

    :rolleyes: eww sounds like a dirty bird over drop…

    In fall the Canadian geese stop here in the field over night on their way south. Always loudly “honk honk” , as they take off & pass over the next morning , leaving a few calling cards behind. Same in reverse in spring.. flying in the “V” formation is always important to shield the lead birds from over exerting and changing lead birds constantly to reserve energy for the long flight ahead.

    Annie— they say in Italy— if you get pooped upon then you will be due some good luck.

    That's what my Aunt Phyllis told my Aunt Dotty when she was so upset that her sheets got pooped on while drying on the clothesline. It's good luck .

    I must say it was little consolation !! :p

    Hahaha…no, I guess not.
    Poop can be a good thing on beds, but not on sheets.
