I don't know why Toronto has this specific bylaw, but am glad that my city doesn't. <BR/><BR/>Glad you enjoyed your time in the big city. I haven't been to Toronto for a couple of years now and probably won't anytime soon. <BR/><BR/>BlessingsMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-41993420717766906152008-11-03T15:07:00.000-05:002008-11-03T15:07:00.000-05:00Whew--at first I thought the chickadee was sipping...Whew--at first I thought the chickadee was sipping coffee!KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-27500228066509692192008-11-03T13:29:00.000-05:002008-11-03T13:29:00.000-05:00I visited Toronto many years ago...and went to the...I visited Toronto many years ago...and went to the top of the CN tower....I was terrified......it is a beautiful place.

I can much appreciated it's "calmness" now as I travel to downtown Toronto yesterday. I found it scary and feared for my life. I too would have preferred the company of the pigeon and chickadee then the crazy drivers. <BR/><BR/>I don't think that you are the only one that ignored the do not feed sign. That pigeon has been feed many times.
