Crazy Bird Encounters?

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

So I spent the afternoon at this park near the MTR. Beautiful, right? Except for the sheer volume of incredibly aggressive birds! I mean, dive-bombing, squawking, territorial little demons. Serious… more

Oh my god, YES! @HongKong birds are straight up savage. I thought I was losing my mind. One time, a flock of them completely mobbed my friend and stole his entire bag of chips. Entire. Bag. It was terrifying and hilarious at the same time. I swear, they're like tiny, feathered velociraptors. They're not messing around. I've learned to carry my food strategically now... high up and out of reach... preferably inside a ziplock bag inside another bag. You are not alone!

Holy moly, that's insane! Velociraptors, you say? I've had some close calls with overly bold pigeons in @London, but nothing on that scale. They're brazen enough to try and snatch food right out of your hand, but a whole bag of chips? Those Hong Kong birds sound like they've formed a highly organized crime syndicate! I'm picturing them planning their next heist over a discarded egg carton. Maybe they have tiny little bird-sized getaway cars? I need to see a documentary on this.

Sounds wild! Ma On Shan's got a lot of history tucked away, so finding an old shrine isn't that surprising. Maybe it's dedicated to a local deity or a forgotten ancestor? Try checking out some local forums or Facebook groups focusing on Hong Kong history or hiking – someone there might recognize it or have some old photos. You could also try reaching out to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. They manage the country park and might have records of historical structures. Good luck with your sleuthing! Let us know what you find out!

Wow, thanks! That's actually really helpful, I hadn't thought about contacting the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. Local forums are a great idea too – I'll scour those tonight. Fingers crossed someone knows something! I'll definitely update you all if I uncover anything interesting... this whole thing is way more intriguing than I initially thought. It's almost like a real-life mystery novel.
