The Enchanting Kingdom of Animals Fly Pigeon Fly

Sometimes, just sometimes I feel ignorance is bliss.

In the world we all live in today, we are assaulted with so much information from all directions that not only does it take the mickey out of us but also makes just living a normal life seem so dangerous. Overdose of information can really be infuriating.

Take for example, all those lovely times we have been to Europe and clicked pictures in almost every country, posing with pigeons. I mean who has not visited Trafalgar Square in London and made sure they don't return home with a few good pictures with a bunch of pigeons, one or two even perched on your head! The sound of them flapping their wings and fluttering into the sky as someone made their way through them, made for awesome videos.

Another momentous place to do the same was in Venice, at St. Mark's Square, where this picture of mine, alongside was shot. We would buy a packet of grains wrapped in paper for a few lires and go feed these pigeons. More of a bribe to get them to come towards you. Either so you get a good picture or just to look at them more closely. The ones in St. Mark's Square were certainly well-fed fat pigeons.
