Those bird brains are not that small, really. That was a well organized and well executed aerial assalt. Gives carpet bombing a whole new meaning.

That car must have been parked there for a long time or else that poor bird must have had a bad case of dysentery.

This is not funny, it is a real health hazard. Sooner or later folks will start (or are) gettting sick.

Not yet in the U.S. anyways. The main (though not only) health hazard of pigeon droppings is Cryptococcus present in the soil and often disturbed and aerosolized at construction sites.

Crypto is one, also Histo (very important in pregnant women!!!), Psittacosis and various viral encephalitidies; not to mention normal gastrointestinal "flu" from eating birds**t.

legalkix, I know a joke, if some lady gives birth to a blind baby from Histo a few moths after this joke, her attorney won't be joking when he serves papers on the city. And the preventably blind baby? That's a funny one too.

It seems curious to me that folks go thru such great lengths to "save" a species that has just not adapted to environmental change but allow such an obvious public health hazard to fester like this. KILL THE BIRDS, very simple solution, but watch the nannies come out of the woodwork to protect them and allow a menace to continue.

Add psitacossis and allergic alveolitis.
If you toss in a mosquito, add West Nile Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, and a few others.
Histo generally comes from old bird droppings, disturbed by construction, tho a deep breath under a rail trestle can do it.
Crypto may be the more real risk for the acute problem.

The current US plan is to wipe out the entire flock if any migratory birds are found to have H5N1.
Allegretto is certainly right. The wildlife rebounds much faster than the trees. They destroyed the wrong thing. AS
