For the Birds Pt. 2


This photo was taken in Barcelona at a fountain in a crowded square. Apparently this guy was very upset with the bird so he was trying to drown it. It was surreal. There were people sitting all around the edge of the fountain enjoying the beautiful weather when all of a sudden a crazy guy rushes in and starts drowning this bird. The bird, fighting for its life, starts trying to bite him so he will let go. As you can see in the picture one guy sitting on the edge of the fountain stopped him, but then a conflict erupted. All of a sudden the would be bird executioner is yelling at him (in Spanish mind you, but Bolt translated) “DON’T YOU TOUCH ME! DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!

 

I showed this photo to a couple of people in our hostel and they were shocked. What was more surprising however was the fact that a couple of British girls in our room had seen this guy about an hour earlier on his bike chasing the bird around. In their words “it looked bizarre but I figured that he and the bird were mates, and he had trained it to run from him.” If they were friends apparently they had a falling out.
