Paradise Valley Mall has REAL barn owls nesting at each entryway...
ZIPPO pigeons... the PETA people are outraged ;-)

Why are pigeons more valuable than owls? (That's a rhetorical
question. I don't expect a sensible answer from PETA or anybody
else. I prefer owls. There are plenty of pigeons.)


A year or two ago, there was a falcon that spent a lot of time
on the top of the Palo Alto city hall building. At 9 stories,
it was one of the taller places around. I assume it was checking
out the local housing.

Local bird watchers thought this was a great idea. Lots of other
locals were not supportive. The problem was that the falcon was
dropping leftover pigeon bits down on the entranceway and it didn't
pay much attention to wheather there were people there or not.
Some of the locals were grossed out.


Back to the original question...

I saw some cones of flimsy plastic at the floral section of
the supermarket tonight. They were big end up on some orchids
or such.
