 | Venice Pigeons Reviews | 1 - 10 of 45 |  |
Piazza San Marco is one of the most magnificent squares in Italy....the only downside is the huge number of pigeons here!!
Tourists are the ones that feed them....and let these rats with wings climb all over them....eeeuuuuwwww!!
Be warned, when you visit the Piazza you are in grave danger of being pooed on by a pigeon....one may even land on you if you are really lucky...not.
They especially like people with bald heads!
Please don't feed them....the pigeons I mean! Leave a Comment

 Watch out - they are
attacking! :-) by Henrik_rrb
The next problem is that the food has to come out sometimes too, and for the birds it's not so important how or where, as long as it hit someone...
Watch out for the *** from the sky that is... :-)
There might also be a problem when they fly away, all of them at the same time. But since they aren't blind I suppose the best thing to do is to just stay still. They don't want to hit you more than you want to hit them. Leave a Comment

 Feeding the Pigeons by CindyInItalyLeave a Comment

No metter of its indisputable beauty, Venice can make you feel uncomfortable. When stroling around you might be choked by very bad odour, coming out from chanels network, especially if those short and narrow. There are places in the city where this bad odour is almost unbearable.
Another danger are thousands of pigeons (flying mouses), which are "bombing" us from above and there is nothing you can do about. Leave a Comment

 Tal with Pigeon in San
Marco Square, Venice,
Italy by Martin_S.Leave a Comment

Piazza San Marco is also home to hoards of pigeons, according to statistical almanacs in a number of between 50000 - 150000. Feeding them is one of the main tourist attractions in San Marco, however, pigeon waste damages the historic sites, is a rising danger to people by transferring parasites and bacteria and is costly to clean up.
In hope of keeping Venice cleaner and preserving its historic monuments from 2008 the city of Venice has banned pigeon feeding altogether, it has been a crime and will be fined with 500 Eu.

 Pigeons in Venice by rp6686
People keep feeding them and they won't fly away. They are not scared by people anymore.
There is pigeon sh*t everywhere, the monuments are covered and damaged by it. Leave a Comment

its like walking through a sea of feathers, they are fearless and they expect you to feed them
people were covering themselves in them !
with the rise of Avian Flu cases I wonder will people still do this, at the best of times they are incredibly dirty birds and carry germs, and should be avoided by people with respiratory problems
perhaps its best to keep away from them for a while, at least you wont have to wash all your clothes to get rid of the smelly pigeon poop Leave a Comment
