First cats,now pigeons...

Pigeons are getting more suicidal. In the summer months; I've had to brake, swerve or use my horn just to spare their lives. They just stand there as if they're in a drunken stupor;  not realising that a 4 ton car coming towards them at 30 mph can actually have an effect on them. They seem fatter too. When they actually shift themselves; it takes a real effort for them to get any kind of lift and you can actually see that they're struggling to even get off the ground. The body just wobbles, and you wonder if they're actually going to make it. Usually they do, but it's a real shock when they do go thud and hit your windscreen when they haven't quite grasped the situation in time. So it’s a win win situation. Pigeons get to feed off our litter and fatten themselves at the same time; while we as disposing of their rubbish are contributing to their demise.
