When eggs are laid, the city comes in and removes them, thus keeping the pigeon population from getting too large and hopefully keeping those that would poison them from doing so. I personally love pigeons! An interesting fact about these birds is that medals were awarded to many of them during WWII.

It is just not a viable solution to any "problem".

They have the sweetest personalities and the babies are adorably homely. I wish the people who “hate” pigeons could work with them and find out what lovely birds they really are.
