Oh yeah, those goddamned pigeons. No paint job between here and the Heights is safe. The problem is that there's a woman in the avenues who feeds and cares for a whole enormous flock of those vermin. She spreads birdseed in the middle of Piedmont St. every day. There oughta be a law. And since there isn't a law, decent citizens ought to take the law into their own hands. Every time I get in my car, I try to run over as many pigeons as I can before I hit Figueroa. I never get 'em: They always fly away somehow. But it makes driving more fun, and I feel it's my job to try to put some fear into the beasts. They're getting awfully cocky up there on their telephone wires, crapping on everything they see.

The Northeast LA parrots are desendants of the parots that were freed from the Busch Gardens up the Arroyo Seco back in the 1960's. I pesonally like it when they roost nearby. If only they could scare away all the pigions from my Highland Park front yard...

A flock of green demons invade Koreatown when the Kapok tress are bearing fruit.

It's not just the Northside. The trucker-hatted fiends are everywhere! Oh, and there is a wild parrot issue on the Westside, as well. At my former abode near Washington & Beethoven, we had a small flock of green sqwaking things living in a palm tree next door. They made an awful racket during the summer...
