A3 #PTTravel Only with the seagull which tried to steal my chips at Eastbourne on Tuesday. But, an Australian friend blogged about someone having a bad experience with a cassowary.

We found so many great spots to visit on our trip to Switzerland. https://t.co/pzT1Q660F8 #PTTravel @madeinbern @BernWelcome

A3 #pttravel I saw a nest in the shed & wondered who it belonged to. After a while, I crawled up there to see if I could see anything. I found one chick & still didn’t know what it was. I came back outside to find a mother robin in a tree letting me know who’s chick it was.

A3 This peacock stalked us in Cockermouth earlier this year…and had a fondness for walking back and forth over our pod roof at about 4.30am each morning. #pttravel

A2 Despite liking to watch birds, I don't take many photos of them at home.
We get a lot of magpies (and I still do the rhyme as I count them), robins, goldfinch, wood pigeons and great/blue tits. I've spotted sparrows and blackbirds less recently.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3 I still get trauma flashbacks to the parrot that was obsessed with my mouth in Cairns 😅 #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie I don’t mind swans - this was the A19 near us about 18 months ago. The actual road. Took 16 months to reopen. #pttravel

A3: Seagull + poop + ice cream in San Diego. I'm just glad I saw it happen, given how it looked similar #PTTravel

A3 this tree had about 20 hyacinth macaws in it which seemed a little unusual. Hadn't seen one for about 2 hours drive. Didn't see anymore for the next 2 hours. They were all in this one tree. #PTTravel

replying to @ASolastie @kate_frankie Correction: not mute swans but whooper swans. It is a sign of spring when they are flying over you trumpeting loudly. #pttravel

A4 #PTTravel This Whistling Kite followed our boat all the way across the bay. We only found out later it always does that, because the skipper feeds it!

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3. We stayed in quite a posh hotel in Roermond once. A pigeon got in during the night and gave it a fresh coat of paint. My parents trapped it in the bathroom and had to try to explain what had happened to the receptionist, but she didn’t speak English. #PTTravel

A3 I got chased as a child by a gaggle of geese. They are so hostile. I still steer clear now. I've also been pecked at by a bird at a picnic table.
Also, what are the real names of the birds in Australia that people call bin birds? They are always in trash & look like

the inspiration for those plague doctor masks from the 17th Century. They looked vicious but usually stayed away from people.
I have been shat on more than once and also had a bird swoop on me which is terrifying. Beware of that if you visit the Farne Islands! #PTTravel
