BRISTOL, England, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- Two audience members were pelted with pigeon droppings while attending a ballet production in the English city of Bristol.
It seems there has been a hole in the roof of the Bristol Hippodrome for some time but audience members usually escape the regular aerial bombardments by pigeons, The Daily Mail in London reported Monday.
Unfortunately, escape wasn't in the cards for Duncan Poulter, 60 and his wife who were watching an English Ballet production of "The Snow Queen" when the pigeons attacked.
"During the first part we could hear a dull thudding noise, which we discovered was pigeon droppings falling onto a gent in front of us," Poulter said. "We could also smell bird droppings, and the seats in front of us were splattered with them, too."
Poulter said the manager offered to pay his dry cleaning bill when he told him about the pigeons. Poulter also wants the $35 he spent on tickets refunded, The Daily Mail said.
