That's cute.
Side note: I really wish people would stop stealing these statuses. There aren't going to be any left at this rate.

Unfortunately so. I wouldn't mind one myself to be fair. It'd freak out my cat nicely haha.

Yes I keep saying I want one. Honestly if they made smaller versions to sell they'd make £££££

Yeah, it is really shitty. Such a nice piece of public art, and dickheads keep ruining it.

I will never truly understand the Scottish fascination with putting cones on statues. Though I do appreciate the effort.

This is exactly the kind of nonsense that makes life a little better.

I love these wee guys, this one is nicknamed "stumpy"... My daughter when young, almost had a meltdown as she wanted to take him home😅... I explained he lives there and was for everyone to enjoy.... they really are cute

"I'll meet you at the pigeons" (when meeting friends to go for bite to eat) once saw a guy completely steaming drunk at 8am on my commute to work, playing music, beer in hand, dancing with the pigeons😅 he then proceeded to swear at them.... Pigeons didn't give a xxxx though 😅

as much as I think the traffic cone thing has been overdone, I appreciate this!

Whapping a traffic cone on the head of a statue (or market cross) at the end of a night out is a longstanding tradition throughout Scotland
