We have a lot of crows and some pigeons here on camp. There have been numerous stories of birds attacking humans. Have you seen the Alfred Hitchcock movie, “The Birds”? Well, it’s not quite like that, but apparently if they have a particular distaste for you, they will swoop down and hit you as you walk through the courtyard. I was walking through the courtyard the other day with another sailor and 4 drops of bird doo landed directly in front of us as we walked! Luckily no droppings hit us. Apparently we were just out of their range. It was a close call nonetheless. The moral of the story is, when you’re in Djibouti, keep your head down, and watch out for the birds!

I got pooed on once; great way to lose your dignity.
ReplyDeleteYears ago when we lived in Seattle, we were going from the house to the car, en route to church (therefore we were all dressed up) and a bird pooed on my hair! Fortunately it was fairly dry, so I was able to brush it out and we continued on our way. Gross!
ReplyDeleteI got pooed on my HAND that was carrying an ice cream cone! I don't know if any splashed on the cone or not, but I threw it all away anyway. (And it was a pidgeon, not a crow)
