Bird feeding on an industrial scale.
It has always been a source of great wonderment how little time it takes to train humans to throw us bread.
When I say bread, there is very little of the basic thin-sliced white - it's not that kind of place.
Pancetta and brioche are popular, as is coriander naan.
There are many differing styles of delivery.
The 'pelt' and 'frisbee' are mainly favoured by 5 year old boys who carry whole loaves of thick-sliced stoneground, multiseeded, wholemeal. It can be a very dangerous place for fowl who don't stay vigilant.
There is always a calm before the storm
and it's often safer in pairs
grandmothers favour the 'gentle lob' style but always insist on an orderly queue
football-loving dads always respond to the old, "on me 'ead son" gesture
but we're always ready for the surprise pelt
unlike this coot
concussed with a crust
we're here every day
whatever the weather.
