Lots of people think there’s a pigeon problem. Getting rid of pigeons? That’s the way you do it.
Unfortunately the pigeons spear themselves while trying to land – resulting in lots of only one-legged crippled pigeons.
Not sure why the pigeons in london try to land on these friendly constructions? Can’t they spot the spikes?

Pigeons facts: Why do pigeons bob their heads?

The pigeon has side mounted eyes unlike humans and owls which have forward facing eyes.  As a pigeons have monocular vision rather than binocular vision they bob their heads for depth of perception.  The pigeon’s eyes work much better with stationary images and therefore, as the pigeon takes a step forward the head is temporarily left behind.  The next step jerks the head forward again and so on.  This allows the bird to correctly orient itself.
