Malvern Hills District Council is once again considering a cull of pigeons in Malvern town centre. We are told they pose a human health risk. Well, it is true that no one likes pigeon faeces falling on them from a great height (although onlookers seem to enjoy it!), but is there any evidence that this is actually a health risk?
We have seen enough slaughter of healthy animals in the countryside in recent weeks, give the pigeons a break!
