Window decals are marginally effective in preventing birds from attempting a fly-through. I liked the humor in the “Beware Paradise” sticker adhered to the sliding balcony door in our room at the Gran Melia in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. I don’t know how many birds it has saved, but hopefully the warning has prevented vacationers from succumbing to the hazards of Paradise.
Hazards? Well, at a resort like the Gran Melia in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, these hazards might easily include an uneven sunscreen application and brain freeze from slurping your frozen daiquiri too quickly. But, I’d rather consider more natural perils awaiting the unwary traveler:
Like bumping into a palm tree,
while stumbling over one of these beached coconuts.
Or the paradisaical peril of wasting your time by following a hermit crab wherever it wishes to go
while watching egrets fly to parts unknown…
While losing yourself completely -for a few moments at least, on a wander down a deserted beach…
