Rock band Kings of Leon were forced to pull the plug half way through a concert after their bass player was pooped on by pigeons.

You play bass, right?

Yes, but always with a hat on.

I've had stuff thrown at me but I'm proud to say I've never been shat upon.

I was walking with the wife one day when a pigeon dropped a load on her head.

She said “Quick! give me some toilet paper!”

I said “What the hell for?!! He is a quarter of a mile away by now”!

Apparently the rafters of the Verizon Amphitheater were infested with pigeons

Something can't be done about this?

We had the same problem in the aircraft hangers at General Dynamics in San Diego

Some home made blow guns dispatched them nicely.

Call Tom Lehrer for a chorus of “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park.”

At the helicopter hangers across the bridge at NASNI, we've got plastic owls in the rafters. I thought it was a joke the first time I saw them but birds are rare in the hangers so they must work.

A lot of stadiums use the fake owls.

I just saw owls deployed on a red roof inn a month back.
They were animated too. The heads craned around.

Pigeons were sitting right beside them. I think one of the owls had a Pidgey pie on its head LoL

Eaker and Humblegunner saw it
