Thirty years back, a coworker was in a nasty crash, and another coworker and I went to visit him in the hospital. He parked under a tree as it was raining. While we were inside, a large flock of birds landed it the tree, and when we came out, his red Dodge truck was decorated just like that Caddy. Yuck!

Ummm...
“Looking up” when there is a flock of pigeons over head is NOT a winning strategy.

The story about rooftop pigeon men says that many of the men admit, that if weren't for their hobby, they would be in jail or dead from street crime.
