One of our teammates got hit in the back, on the eye of the gearhead on his shirt. Good thing we bring extra shirts.

Re: pic: NYC Pigeon Report

Apparently the NYC pigeons hate laser pointers.
The venue staff chases them away by herding them out the loading dock with a laser pointer.

I so wanted a photo of a pigeon perched on a pyramid...

Re: pic: NYC Pigeon Report

Last year, two of our team members were hit dead on on their heads by pigeon 'droppings' while at the NYC Regional.

Re: pic: NYC Pigeon Report

The pigeons - at least the ones in New York City - compete for points by 'dropping' on targets, like your head. I don't know the exact scoring system, but moving targets score quite highly.

There are pigeons who will mug you if you're alone.
I have had food taken out of my hand by one of these flying rats.
I am told they actually taste good when prepared, but there's not a lot of meat.
