Well, we have a new problem….Bird poop….I’m not sure it an official law just yet, “but they working on it”. Bird poop is getting so bad around the city that the city fathers are talking about fining those of us who feed birds, well, those of us who feed pigeons or rock doves. The TV showed pictures of piles of poop in places that perturbs the city managers and makes clean up, er, messy….So they do not want the citizenry to aid and abet in the bird population around town..”Do not feed the pigeons and rock dove” says our city fathers…… I am planning to put up a sign near my feeders that say, “no pigeons or doves allowed”. and I hope that will work…Over the bird bath I am not going to place a sign there because the city has not placed restrictions on giving them a drink or bath….yet….Now I do have some pine trees in my yard and some dove have been roosting there…uh oh, also a no-no, because that allows for an accumulation of bird, er, poop and that is wrong….and it is a lot more difficult for me as I gave up climbing trees several years ago and getting a sign up there will be almost impossible….I might try putting the sign on the ground stating, “pigeons and rock doves, no pooping allowed”…..I suppose it is a problem for the city and for all of us and something probably should be done….That old cat that patrols my yard eating the bird population could be hired to work the city buildings and bridges…That might help some…



Sounds like the poop is coming from the city fathers and managers. Keeping birds from pooping is like trying to keep humans from passing gas. It is down right impossible, unhealthy; and it is really none of anyone’s business. Bird pooping, like cattle droppings, are part of the natural biological cycle that sustains life on this earth. Biological waste is recycled again into life. If one is stopped. It all stops. It might be wiser to recycle some pooping city fathers.
I’ll tell um……
