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.

Went last October. Rooftop pool was pretty sweet, view is killer, but yeah, it gets busy. Weekdays were way more relaxed than weekends – practically had the place to myself on a Tuesday afternoon. If you're aiming for chill, avoid Saturdays and Sundays. The smaller pool is… quieter, definitely. Less of a scene, but also less of a view. Trade-off, I guess.
