Pigeons
Overpopulation of feral pigeons in built up areas can cause
health and safety problems.
The Council encourages the safe and hygienic disposal of all
waste, especially fast food waste products to prevent such
overpopulation. Where the feral pigeon population has to be
controlled, only humane methods will be used.
For more information on dealing with feral pigeons, please refer
to Related Links at the bottom of the page.
However, some pigeons are not wild, but are racing or homing
pigeons that have become lost or tired. For information on what to
do should you find such a pigeon please refer to the Royal Pigeon
Racing Association website in the Related Links at the bottom of
the page.
