Just boot them, sky rats

Market Square is massed with them. Visitors feed them, kids runs through them so they take off in huge numbers shower you in mites which is a minging experience. They have a falconer who has two birds which do pigeon kills 6am early mornings. Beautiful sounds when they succeed, as per HmmGuv’s Roman emperor blood lust gif

Feral pigeons (Columba livia domestica), also called city doves, city pigeons, or street pigeons,[3][4] are descended from the domestic pigeons that have returned to the wild.[5] The domestic pigeon was originally bred from the wild rock dove, which naturally inhabits sea-cliffs and mountains.[6] Rock, domestic, and feral pigeons are all the same species and will readily interbreed. Feral pigeons find the ledges of buildings to be a substitute for sea cliffs, have become adapted to urban life, and are abundant in towns and cities throughout much of the world.[7]

Owing to their abilities to create large amounts of excrement and be an occasional disease vector to humans combined with crop and property damage, pigeons are largely considered a nuisance and an invasive species, with steps being taken in many municipalities to lower their numbers or completely eradicate them.[3][4][8][9][10][11]

male pigeons are also incredibly randy and are on the pull all the time all year round

Every year, without fail, there’s a story in the tabloids about a pensioner smashing a seagull's brains out with his stick after it tried to steal his chips/pasty. Get the impression it’s a daily occurrence in Hastings. Hate birds anyway, making a racket at 5am in summer.

Should we kill all the pigeons?

If people stopped throwing food down for the pigeons the birds would soon go to pastures new.

Hell with the Pigeons and Shoot them all. They are enoying birds, messy and a health hazzord. Someday I would like to walk through the Market square and not have to worry about being splatted in pigeon droppings. The odd pigeon here and there would not be a crime, but Nottingham has a problem. If there were rats crawling around something would be done about it, well the pigeons are just as bad.

THey should be prevented from breeding. Why cannot the pidgeon fanciers take some of the responsibility, after all thats where most of them originated from.

If they took the shotguns to the 'dirty vermin' who drop the litter and fast food wrappers which attract many of the pigeons, then the excess pigeon population would soon sort itself out. And what about the equally disgusting people who drop the chewing gum? I saw one poor pigeon today with it's feet glued up with the disgusting stuff which had set hard. Clean up Nottingham - starting with the far more disgusting (human) creatures on our streets - and ones who should know better than the poor pigeons!

Ever get the impression students do nothing? Well they do! Let’s pay students to catch the dam things for the following reasons: (1) Pubs and clubs profits will increase, because any money will inevitably be spent in these on beer. In time they will have to pay more taxes, and this can be ploughed back into the local community. And (2) it may provide a hearty meal for the more adventurous students!
