Spikes are installed in window sills in London, England to keep pigeons from defacing them. I wonder if spiked hair creations also have the same effect? Hit.
I've seen those spikes on a few buildings around Edmonton. I always thought they were pigeon traps though.
I'm also a supporter and founder of the theory that if we start eating pigeons they'll leave the cities because they'll become terribly afraid of us. The following article doesn't suggest they'll leave but it does suggest that pigeons are good to eat:
Re: spiked hair. When I was in university in the 1960s my beehive hairdo didn't solve the problem. Like all my fellow dorm residents, I spent ages every morning getting my hair all back-combed into a "do," and then headed out to class. As I walked beneath a tree, a bird pooped on the top of my head!
Three verifiable things about me. One. I am an only child. The concept of sharing, therefore, is foreign to me. Two. I am a Virgo. The sign regarded as a perfectionist. Three. My mother raised me to be meticulously clean; compulsively tidy. According to my mother, "You have taken this clean thing way too far." I disagree. Apologies to my mother.
Nature or nurture? Who knows? Who cares? I have not been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Nor would I label myself a Cleanaholic. Or a Germaphobe. My world though, is definitely a unique place. One where doors open magically. Hotel mattresses are pristine. And estheticians never double dip.
I live in this world without a bubble or a honeycomb mask. About 15 years ago I got tired of catching the flu du jour and became ever more so hygienically vigilant -- perhaps obsessively so.

So let's clean up the cities and start eating pigeon.
