No S- - t, or, Please don't feed the Pigeons

The pigeon population in St. Mark's Square and elsewhere in Venice (Venezia to the cognoscenti) has become so large, and needless to say so pestiferous (look THAT one up, I dare ya) that the local government has now outlawed feeding the pigeons. I sense Alfred Hitchcock's hand in this somewhere....

Overall, it should make your Venetian visit a more pleasant one. As long as you are not walking along holding anything in your hand that the newly hungry hordes might consider food.
