Next time you go to Venice, don’t feed the pigeons. An ordinance that took effect on May 1, 2008 makes it illegal to feed the pigeons in St. Mark’s Square. Undoubtedly a crushing blow to every bird-brained tourist in Venice whose must-do list includes wearing a suit of winged-rats.
Bottom Line: MediaHerd visited Venice once and complained bitterly about the swarms of pigeons. If we had a platform, this ordinance would be on it. Congratulazioni Venice!
