Well this is what happens at our shut-down Hibernia Bank (Landmark #130) at Jones, McAllister and Market these days – pigeon poo blocks drainage and then that starts a process that causes parts of the building to rain down on the sidewalk.

An ideal nesting site high above the Polk Street Steps, don’t you think?
It’s protected from the rain and wind and of course there are plenty of rats scurrying about City Hall these days, non?

These critters have only an inch or so of ledge on San Francisco’s Main Public Library in Civic Center (right across the street from the Most Expensive Burger King in the World, Where They Knoweth Not of the Buck Double.)
This is about the only horizontal surface left in the area not covered with those anti-pigeon spikes.
