RSS-FeedWe have a lot of pigeons in Germany. The keep shitting on statues, sidewalks and cars and cost us a lot of money.
Now a pigeon was swallowed by a pelican in London.
Besides the question what a pelican does right in the middle of London (Shopping?? Sightseeing? Uhm, I forgot. He’s just swallowing some pigeons…) there are a few more, like… How many pelicans do we need to solve our overpopulation of pigeons? And why don’t we abandon a few pelicans over here…?

The pigeons are in St James’s Park and were introduced ages ago by some King as a present from another nation. Now they feed off tourist scraps and are given fish daily by the park keepers.
Apparently the pigeon eater has become an opportunist but ate thats 2 pigeons in a week!

I think Steve means the pelicans are in St James’ Park and I believe they were given to King Charles II as a gift.
This is the first time they have ever seen a pelican eat a pigeon but i guess that doesn’t necessary mean it hasn’t happened before. Perhaps they could train a clan of killer pelicans and set them loose in Berlin to sort out the problem.
We could do with a pelican at our office. There are two pigeons that sit outside one of the windows all day. One of them is pretty big and the other one is a scrawny little bastard. The big one just picks on the little one all day and so it continuously shrieks at the top of its voice. We have tried throwing random stuff at it like coins and tea bags to try and make it go away but it refuses to go away and instead carries on shitting on the pipes and windowsills

I could do with a pelican at home, too. Every year, I have a couple of pigeons, trying to make my balcony their home, laying their eggs and raising their chicks there.
What am I? A maternity clinic for pigeons??

Anyone with Pigeons nesting near them should have them removed as they carry disease in particular Wildes Diseases which can fuck you up pretty bad.
Beware that the poo when it dries out can turn to fine dust and you’ll be breathing it in so your lungs can get ill too!
Pigeons are Rats with wings
