HAHAHAH ewwww Satan's little helper doesn't have small beady eyes, it has big gross yellow eyes, but it still feels like I'm looking death in the eye.

Hahaha Tom that's scary as a child to be attacked by a chicken, the same happened to my sister, it bit her and ever since she doesn't get near chicken, even the kind that has been fried and is ready to be eaten. I had the same thing with dogs for a few years because this big St. Bernhard attacked me and knocked me off my feet, but I got over it eventually.

Yea my sister was attacked by a dog once and doesn't like them now. That makes sense to me because dogs can be aggressive, but chickens are funny haha. I used to chase them when I was around the same age as tomchin was attacked by them. Attack or be attacked.

I once had to cross such a square with pigeons in Milan.  Horrifying stuff.  In Belgium we have plenty of pigeons as well, but fortunately they're not concentrated like that.

I remmeber going into Central London with my parents when I was younger. We'd often go down to Trafalgar Square, look at Nelson's Column, watch the fountains, and find ourselves surrounded by thousands of pigeons.

I never did experience this though:

Good Lord, that is a lot of pigeons. There is something seriously with children who aren't scared by them and just stand in the middle open to being clawed and shit. There is a similar place in Sarajevo, Bosnia where they gather; .
I remember when we would go on vacation my parents thought it would be really cute to feed them and have them all land around us while someone takes pictures. I just used to cry in a far away corner.

Anyway, I'm sorry for inspiring a 3 page conversation about pigeons, they just freak me out and should not exist.

So much yes on the pigeon hate. Disgusting creatures.

Hahahaha, that sounds terrible. Your parents were obviously keen in allowing you to embrace the pigeon society like every other fun-loving child, you just rejected it, hence your hatred for them now.

Since this is a three-page discussion on pigeons, I'm going to throw this image in here as it's always quite amused me.

The same thing happened to my cousin! When we lived in Hong Kong, it was common for people to give chickens as gifts so we had a live chicken in our house for awhile and my cousin got pecked by it cause it followed her into the washroom She's about 26 now and hasn't eaten chicken since and can't stand the smell of it.

My parents told me this story of when I was 3-4 years old. It happened some day when we were going out for a walk in the park. So there was this gentleman who was walking his dog. It was a black labrador. They walked from the opposite direction towards us. So apparently I started to reach out towards the dog and start hugging around the dog's neck. Nothing much really happened, except I got licked all over my face for some time. My dad was walking around with a camera and caught it on film. So yeah I guess I like dogs from ever since I was a child
