No! Don't jump!

A couple of weeks ago, a waiter told us that the pigeons in Amsterdam were getting stupider, and he's right. You see far more of them merrily pecking away at a piece of detritus in the middle of the bike lanes and refusing to give way to the cyclists. I saw one get run over last year by an extremely fast Dutchman, who just shrugged and laughed; most disturbing (both the "hit" and the reaction). But I don't think this one is as suicidal as some of his chums.



Oh well, even if he was, there are plenty more.
