Hawaii in need of Bird Baths

My Buddhist perspective;- I'd like to see shopping centres installed cooled bird baths in cool, shaded outdoor places for the migratory and displaced birds & small wildlife. Since most of the Developed world has shuffled in asphalt acreage for natural yardage,  birds are unable to find fresh water sources. The obvious downfall being that someone puts poison in the water to kill the birds. It's a no-win situation for the Birds.
I was just sitting at the coffee gallery table and a desperate gecko ran up to my iced coffee mug 3x with my hand on the cup. The gecko licked the water droplets off the side. I set an ice cube out on the table where the gecko's purple younger lapped up some cool water droplets to beat the Hawaiian heat.

Shellfish & Hawaii's Shopping Malls

Honolulu, Hawaii has a monstorous addition to the original mall near Ala Moana Beach park.
I took a few walks through the Mall. And, aside from most mainlander USA folk scoffing at Adults "hanging out at the Mall" (an otherwise High School teen behavior);- I also don't cruise at the Mall too often.

My acute allergy to shellfish and the molecular pollutants from Fried shellfish make me steer away from areas that are adjacent to Shrimp, Crab, & Lobster restaurants. That includes the Old portion of the Alamoana Blvd. mall and a popular bar that hosts some live music. None of the restaurants keep the allergens contained.  The molecular drift from a nearby tempura restaurant,  caused my respiratory system to become severly irritated and begin shut down while standing over 25 feet away. The door to the tempura place was also shut while I was reading the Directory/Map of the new Wing.

Also, people generally cause uproar if i tell them not to grab me, or kiss me on the cheek, or touch me;- especially if i know they have been out dining. The Shellfish contaminant causes rise to my skin rash outbreak for weeks. The people here really need a lesson in keeping their hands to themselves and are introduced to a "stranger" such as yours truly when out & about. 

All personal security aside;- its all not secure for me.
