HAS anyone else noticed a pigeon population explosion this year?
We have great fat things the size of small dogs swooping all round the garden. Five were hopping madly after each other on a neighbouring bungalow roof the other day, much to the amusement of our granddaughter.
Now we have some very welcome feathered visitors to our garden: the darting wren, the cheeky robin and the superstar song thrush.
But the pigeons leave industrial quantity deposits of their excrement all over the place. I read up on the diseases they can cause. Frightening.
I went online to see what could solve the problem. Guess what? These feral creatures are protected by law.
So I have to live with the flying poop factories. It’s nearly as bad as the dog muck on the pavements outside.
