Dove’s Love Glove
Pigeons – nature’s cruel joke. These birds are nothing more than germ-ridden sewer feathered sewer rats with wings that plague major metropolitan centres. They are a menace to society and have contributed nothing to the diversity of the bird species. They take up space and give nothing in return. They don’t serve any purpose. They don’t keep the population of other pests down, as they are pests themselves.
One city however has decided that enough is enough and is taking unorthodox measures to keep the menace in check. Their methods are welcomed by animal rights groups. The city of Hollywood, which has an estimated pigeon population of 5,000+ has put birth control to use. Using rooftop feeders to attract the birds, the city has put OvoControl P into the feed. It is designed to obstruct the development of eggs, which should ideally help in reducing the overall population. The city hopes to have it reduced by 2012.
While only a pilot project, if successful, this could be easily implemented in many other cities plagued with the feathered menace.
US pigeons to get contraceptives
Until cities like Toronto get its act together to reduce and fully eliminate the problem, we the people need to take our own form of action. Though this blogger prefers something more concrete like just killing the whole pigeon population.

Why not make pigeon omelets? With a side of budgie bacon?
