it's a shame you have so little regard for birds


I hate to see misinformation spread around. PIgeons, nor any other bird for that matter, "live in their own feces". ABsolutely not true. A bird's feathers must be clean to fly.

What "65 diseases"? Where did you get this information?

and the problem??


how do you correlate pigeons with kids? The two have nothing to do with each other.this is a thread about shooting pigeons, not child protection laws.

Hey guys - I believe you mean "pigeons"?? That is unless you're referring to LNP reporter Dave Pidgeon. I don't think he'd appreciate being shot at and thrown in the trash. Decent reporters are hard to come by these days.

Yes, Melody, pigeons DO live in their own feces. I think you need to do a little research about them. They use the feces in their nests as a sort of glue. I had an infestation in my carriage house and after the birds were removed (humanely, I might add), had to deal with the nests. I assure you that the poop was there in massive quantities. So much so, that I had to wear a dust mask and a Tyvek suit to avoid contact.
Google is your friend. If you do some research, you will find that I speak the truth concerning the health dangers of these birds. I know you are a bird lover, and so am I, but not all birds are cute and cuddly, especially pigeons.
I was drawing an analogy concerning the priorities of society. Special interests will go out of their way to protect a pigeon, but won't work as hard to protect innocent children. 13 innocent children were brutally murdered in Lancaster County in 2003, and none of the killers will spend more than 40 years in prison for killing them. Most will be back out on the streets in 20 years or less.
