This week?

Question

This week my mum reported to the environmental health about our shopping center how its got pidgens flying every were and in front of the shops its full of pidgen muck. was she right to report it? and what do you think the health can do to stop the problem of our town being over run with pidgens?

Answer 1

I lived one winter back in 1957-58 by trapping and eating pigeons that would come on my window sill, and follow a trail of grain into my room.

Pigeons are reasonably good food. All it takes to bring their population into control is to make it legal and approved to harvest them for food.

Answer 2

I view pigeons as Flying-Rats! You must be in Europe or 1000 people would have already reported the mess. Here in Seattle it is illegal to feed birds in public places and we are constantly battling the huge numbers with load noise and organic deterrents.

I say your Mum did just fine!
