I was recently walking downtown, eating a French fry, when one with ketchup on it suddenly slipped out of my hand and was immediately pecked at and devoured by a pigeon. I wonder how a city pigeon can eat something like that (e.g., French fries, ketchup, chocolate, etc.). Are their stomachs so hardened that this…
I met a man in town who was sitting in a snack bar in the city center eating something, and there were some pigeons there looking for food. He swore, called them insects and flying rats, tried to chase them away, and then kicked one of the birds repeatedly until it died. At which point,…
I'm currently struggling with a pigeon infestation, which is my own fault because in the winter I sometimes put out small bowls of seeds for smaller birds so that they can survive the winter well. I hadn't put out the seeds for fat-eating pigeons who eat everything up in no time at all, but oh…
Hello, I have two pigeons on my balcony that have their feathers pressed outward. I have a bird feeder there, and I'm always getting visits from birds and pigeons. But now, two younger (I think sick) pigeons are on my balcony. What can I do? I'll take them to the vet. I'm attaching pictures of…
I mean the birds. Is it the same in your city where pigeons are simply run over without stopping, slowing down, or avoiding them? I repeatedly observe in my hometown that pigeons are treated like dirt. It's particularly bad in certain places, such as the train station. When they're on the bike path, many cyclists…
Hello! I've always been told that pigeons only transmit diseases and parasites through their droppings. I'm currently quite anxious for various reasons anyway, especially about diseases that come from droppings, like tapeworms, other parasites, or bacteria. Yesterday I bought some water and later noticed that there was pigeon droppings next to my bag. Now I'm…
Hello, You often hear that you can get a number of illnesses from it. This morning, before I went shopping, a pigeon was sitting cheekily on the street and had just flown away. Of course, I was worried I'd run it over, but I think it would have been noticeable? Even if I had just…
On the one hand, it's very nice to see how there's so much less garbage lying around on the streets these days; on the other hand, I'm a little worried about the pigeons. In cities without pigeon houses, the animals are unfortunately forced to feed on human garbage. Won't there be masses of dead birds…
Pigeons need quality food, not breadcrumbs. I feel incredibly sorry for them because many city dwellers view them as pests, even though every life has a right to exist. Whenever I see a sick pigeon, I take it away, treat it, and deliver it to a dovecote until it's healthy and safe. It is the…
