at least those AI ibis don’t shit on my front porch!
i’d take AI street chickens over the actual vermin, anyday! (yes, i’d still be annoyed, but my power washer would get a break!)

Is that in Albany? I saw it there way back in '96, on a business trip. When I went back about 20 years later, I was glad to see it was still there.
