I've had violent ducks believe my fingers held bread when it long ran out. I think I get the picture :-) But hmm.. I forgot what it is for ducks- it's not flock is it.. sheesh. Oh and a long time ago in Trafalgar Square when they were still selling birdseed for 25p, a friend of mine discovered he could recreate a certain Hitchcock movie by throwing birdseed at me. Not bad enough? One of those germ motherships saw some birdseed slip into my jackethood and I *swear* they've got a collective consciousness..
