feed the birds at your peril (1 Viewer)

From Sky news online:

"PIGEON FEEDING FINES,
Feeding the pigeons in Trafalgar Square is now punishable by a fine of up to £50.
London mayor Ken Livingstone has been trying to get rid of the birds, which he calls "rats with wings".

The new by-law makes it illegal to throw food to the birds.

It follows the banning of bird food sellers from the square in 2001.

A sign in the square now reads: "Do not feed the pigeons. They cause nuisance and damage the square."

The measures are estimated to have reduced the pigeon population from 4,000 to 200.
The move coincides with a major restoration of the popular tourist attraction which is now closed to traffic on its northern side."

I also notice that there has been a guy with a Harris' hawk wandering around the square recently.

Hey Woody when do you find the time to paint, I seem to see you on this site pretty regular!! Or is the Harris Hawk next in line.

Hi Bob,

I sold my soul to the devil many years ago and took a job in advertising. The only real advantage is that when it's quiet (which seems to be almost all the time these days) I can be here on BF.

I paint at work in the mornings from around 7.30 to 10 and weekends and sometimes in my lunch hour.
I've painted plenty of Harris hawks and have more in the pipeline!
