Everyone knows that birds of a feather flock together but not many people realize what huge gossips birds are. I am over 2000 miles from home and the Bird Park but these guys had my number the minute I hit the beach. What? I should carry a bag of treats wherever I go?

I don't know. Something about this picture makes me laugh. Were they slowly advancing on you?
I suppose holding up two breadsticks in the form of a cross would probably only exacerbate the situation.
Were they slowly advancing on you?
Yes. Exactly. As soon as I sat down they moved on me, en masse. At first I was flattered like "Wow! The birds know I'm a good person!" but then they started giving me The Look, the one where they collectively beam their hypnotic gaze at you in an effort to control your mind and make you buy them French fries. The only thing that saved me was Mr. Lee yelling, "don't even think about it" which broke their spell.
Holding up bread sticks would have led to a very different photo... a close up of beaks, wings and bird feet and my left hand trying to shoo them away as I photograph the mayhem.
You woulda made Alfred Hitchcock proud.
Ah... you are too kind.
Yes! I asked Diesel if he thinks you should carry a bag of treats wherever you go and the resounding response was WOOF, WOOF, WOOF (translation YES, YES, YES) I guess he figures bird treats are good for dogs as well?
WOOF, WOOF, WOOF
As soon as I posted this it occurred to me that Diesel would back the birds. ;)
