Beware the peacocks at Lazienski Park in Warsaw

If you are planning to visit Lazienski Park in Warsaw then watch out for the peacocks that roam around the gardens. They are vicious. Under no circumstances approach them whilst carrying a ham sandwich.

this is sound advice and the same applys to swans on sopot beach

And the Raccoon that jumbed out of a bush at me in Stanley Park, Vancouver making me drop my newly purchased ice cream in fright !!!

It's a jungle out there i tell you....

cor blimey guvna, cosh me ovar ead wif a broken bo''le and slaap me rand ve face wif a wet kipper... vat just aint right i tell ya

A raccoon coming at you in broad daylight? Are you sure it didn't have rabies? Did you report it to park athorities or the city animal authority?

We had one here like that recently (last August) and sure enough, it had rabies. They came and trapped it and I heard they tested it first to find out, then euthanized it.

It's a big problem in the US.

We don't have crazy peacocks, though. Not that I know of.

They're not crazy, they're deranged pyschopathic killers. Really it's true:)

lol.. I a had picnic in Lazienki, with the peacocks in the background, and surprisingly.. I guess they must had been in a great mood.. no peacock attacks to report.. :)

I LOVED the peacocks there!! Next time I visit though, I will have to bring such a sandwich, to test your theory :)

Hmm........ the lull before the storm. You must have caught them just after they had fed. Perhaps just after they stole my sandwich.:)

Note to avoid prosecution by the Polish Tourist Board. I think I might just have been unlucky

Szarlotka,
perhaps they just felt your fear towards them, dogs are know to do that, so are people as well:)

i saw a cat having sex with a pigeon while i was in Warsaw

Yeh M, probably. I never recovered from seeing the Hitchcock movie "the Birds":)

Yeah, but have you seen subway rats in NYC? That is scary picture. Grey, intelligent monsters.

James Herbert wasn't joking when he wrote "Rats" then !

Maybe James Herbert should write a book called "killer Peacocks" ...

Or "Revenge of the Rabid Raccoon"

We have very agressive ground squirrels, in a specific area, because tourists feed them and they have become habituated.

Unsuspecting persons, sitting and having a snack, can have squirrels practically jump in their lap in hopes of a nibble.

It's a bad thing because often children have been bitten on the hand. There are signs posted instructing the tourists to avoid feeding animals--it is punishable by a fine, but they don't care. So now the squirrels are a pesky problem. And some of them carry a plague-a type of bacterial infection, so if you are bitten, you have to go to the clinic and get a shot.

Keep the "wild" in wildlife! :)

Here you lot, that's my name your dissing haha :-P

Sorry for that.... as long as you don't mug me for my ham sandwich as well !

One of those peacocks robbed and murdered my friend. The bastards then used his stolen money to fund a terrorist organization.
Something needs to be done.

Kaczynski was noted on several occasions to have been wearing a peacock suit before parlimentary discussions.
His extreme fascination with ham sandwiches is also a point of interest.

Hmm. This is news to me. Let's hope that he doesn't (or does) have a John Bonham moment then!

He doesn't eat the sandwiches, he believes the sandwiches are alien life forms which guide him in his day to day political decisions.

Do ham sandwiches speak Polish?

Only if the pig was slaughtered in Poland.

Only the cyborg ones...

In Riverside, California it's the skunks we have to be careful of. Sometimes the two-legged ones as well!

Earthworms are now attacking people. You can't go for a walk in the woods safely anymore because they sit in trees and jump on your neck and choke you.

They got fed up for being used as bait.

The 17 year Cicada bugs are due here in a week or so...there really loud and nasty

Probably because they're only 17 and can't drink yet. They waited underground for so long and nobody will serve them.

unlees they party underground and have to restock

I think, I keep my windows and doors shut and stay inside playing loud my vinyls...
