The Birds!


This was the experience that gave me a lifelong fear of birds and pigeons in particular! Feeding pigeons in Trafalgar Square, London. That's my mum with a pigeon on her hand and me trying to become invisible so that the birds didn't flap at me.

  1. Aaaah you do look a bit frightened Janice. I don't see the attraction with pigeon feeding myself either.

    Great photo though. :)

  3. Very sweet picture of little you and your mom! Wow, that is lots of birds. I can see why it could be traumatic for a child.

    I really love this Flash Back Friday idea. It is such fun seeing blogging friends in past days.

    Nice visiting! ldh

  12. AAAArrggg!!!! I am terrified of birds. A bird got caught in my hair when I was small. I like listening to them and watching from a distance but I couldn´t touch one.
