Iflyfish (Ric),

I'm convinced that some birds aim at people when they do it. If anyone had told me previously I wouldn't have believed it until one time ....

A group of us were fishing the Yellowstone River in the park, Hayden Valley, when along came this flock of canadian honkers following the rivers course. They were actually pretty high at first. Anyway, they went past us then circled back, dropped down in altitude, and just as they passed over us they let go. There was the sound of splats as it fell all round our group.

We had done nothing to provoke these birds. It was done intentionally. Some of the 'veterans' on the river seemed to know what was coming so this was not an isolated incident.

Incidentally, today's paper had an article about a chimp in Sweden that gathers rocks in the morning to throw at zoo visitors in the afternoon. This supposed to indicate a sign of intelligence. Well, those honkers seemed to have a plan a well.

speaking of zoo situations,
I personally witnessed an orangatan in a zoo (I think the San Diego Zoo about 30 years ago)...
anyway, this orangatan would sulk among the rocks of it's enclosure and then run out, pick up some poo and fling it towards the guests. One such fling came over the fence very near where I was standing. It missed me, but hit a tall black lady wearing a very nice white summer pants suit. She was a very pretty lady in very nice clothes, with oranguatan poo that had been flung at the spectators, all down her leg.

Parents shuffled us out of there right after that...........

Yea, I think that sometimes it's intentional.....

I know what you mean. I had a sea gull do that to me. I was the only person on this very long beach and the sky was blue, calm, nice waves and one sea gull in the air, sucker stalked me and let loose a horrible load on my hat! I never saw it coming!

Reminds me of that character in Little Abner, the one that carries his own cloud around with him.

There was a gorilla at the Fleishacker Zoo in San Francisco that used to throw doo doo on people. I saw a hippo once do that too to a lady standing too close to the fence. He backed up to the fence and it looked like one of those big old manure spreaders on the farm, blew it everywhere!

homosapiens are probably the only mammel/animal that doesn't get into/respect poo as all the other animals do. Our scent glands are not so accutely atuned to all the minute inflections of a poo.............
........THANK GOODNESS!

I don't know, but for those who do know.....

in the mammal/ape world...when one ape thows poo at another ape, what does that mean? What would the target do... run away?

I do know that felines use urine as a huge tool to mark their territory. They can definitely let you know when they are not happy with you! Many stories of cats urinating on a certain person's clothing after that person threw the cat outside (or similar).
