Dog Owners Be Warned of the CRAZY PIGEON MAN!
Then, a cloud seemed to appear out of nowhere. But it was not a cloud, it was a swarm of disgusting flying rats; pigeons. City rock pigeons to be exact. Pests which swarm our cities and parks and drive away other birds, leaving us with a monoculture of fat grey birds. These birds were swarming around a man in a motorized wheelchair, who had a bag of bird feed on his lap and a pigeon on his shoulder like a deranged pirate. The women cowered and protected their heads from the swarm of birds; there must have been at least 300 of them. St James' Park is home to many interesting and exotic bird species; these all left the vicinity once the swarm of flying rats moved in.
This was enough to be anti-social; it turned what was an enjoyable area for dozens into the private pigeon pleasure garden for one man. People feeding the birds is a problem, but that was the least of our problems today.
The man took one look at our dogs and started muttering "I can't stand dogs. I can't stand dogs." He then drove his electric wheelchair straight at the two girls and their terrier, causing them to flee. He turned his attention to me and said loudly "I can't stand dogs."
"Well, I can't stand pigeons!" I responded.
Then he ran over my foot.
I think he was trying to attack my lovely, sweet, good-natured, people-loving dog and I just got in the way. Obviously I got in the way; when someone is trying to attack my dog my natural instinct is to protect her. It hurt, but my foot is now fine. The principle of the matter remains; I was essentially attacked by a deranged man because I was walking my dog (on a leash!) in a public park.
This is unacceptable.
He left the scene, trailed by his hoard of fluttering air-rats, muttering "I can't stand dogs. I can't stand dogs." If anyone sees this man again please notify the authorities.
