Pesky Pigeons Move On

After a resident reported to me a serious issue with their neighbour feeding over 100 pigeons, I got in touch to find out more information. This problem had been occurring for over 12 months and was only getting worse. I stepped in and contacted the council over this issue, which nearly caused them to move house due to all the problems it caused. An anti-social behaviour warning was served (a precursor to an ASB notice) instructing the neighbour in question to stop hand feeding the pigeons, and instead to install hanging bird feeders which not only deter pigeons but also attract more species of birds. This issue has now been resolved. The pigeons have moved on, the residents in the surrounding area are happy and a new population made up of various species of birds have moved in.
