Do not feed the pigeons!

The feral pigeon is completely at home in urban environments, exploiting humans for food and using buildings for the purposes of roosting and breeding. Pigeons breed all year round with peak breeding periods in spring and summer, however, breeding is restricted if food is restricted. This offers a potential solution in controlling increasing numbers by reducing the supply of food to pigeons. All rubbish is bagged, food is swept from the roads, educated people in the problems caused by mass bird feeding and local councils take responsibility of the overall pigeon problem.
