St. Paul is experimenting with pigeon birth control to reduce the population and lower the fowl output.

Pigeon Contraception

Favorite parts of the article:

Neighborhood leaders there estimated that [a crazy bird] woman put out 112 tons of bird feed a year. If a bird metabolizes two-thirds of what it eats, then one-third becomes waste. And one-third of 112 equals 37 tons of pigeon excrement.

Has anyone checked to see if this forced birth control goes against the pigeons’ religious values?

So innovative, those Irish. So protestant. :D

I wonder how this fits in with a pigeon’s right to choose. Also, unclear why a church is spending time and money trying to control the pigeon population. aren’t they supposed to be saving souls and such?

I’m sure it correlates.

Andy! Make sense of this.

Here is a better way to take care of the problem.
