Venice, Italy travel: St. Mark's Square feeding pigeons. Here's video of the best two Euro we ever spent! Those pigeons in St. Mark's Square are quite persistent, even when the seed is gone. Did you ever notice the first three letters of 'pigeon' is 'pig'? Hmmm. Hopefully the rest of our Perillo Tours Familia had time to experience this most interesting event. (By the way, yelling at the pigeons in Spanish is ineffective.)
