France starts feeding pigeons contraceptives
A town in France plagued by pigeons is feeding the birds grain spiked with contraceptives to stop them breeding.
‘They are everywhere, annoying people as they are eating, drinking or strolling in the streets,’ said a town hall spokesman for the medieval tourist hotspot of Brignoles, in Provence.
The town has complained that the pigeons ae driving away tourists.
The contraceptive will not affect humans or other animals, a spokesperson said.
