This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Funny."
When I was in Venice last month, I had lunch outdoors at Trattoria Busa alle Torre on the island of Murano. There was a sign on the door that said "please do not feed the pigeons" in a bunch of different languages.
Well, these two pigeons took matters into their own hands. Before I could shoo them away, they both took a bite of the bread in the basket. I thought it was pretty funny (and I didn't want the bread anyway).
You can find more Photo Hunters and join the hunt here.

That's hilarious. I guess the pigeons can't read. Happy weekend.

Hahaha!
It appears that these birds have done this before, and are pro when it comes to getting their own meal :)

Woah, aggressive pigeons! Guess they're VERY used to humans -- and being fed by them! :O

Hi Annie, very funny and a great photo. I wonder if they knew you didn't want the bread anyway and thought they'd help out. :)
