WE NEED TO STOP FEEDING THE DAMN PIGEONS!!!!!!!!!! — Brooklynian

WE NEED TO STOP FEEDING THE DAMN PIGEONS!!!!!!!!!!

Hello my fellow residents of Park Slope,

it is with heavy heart that I have to resort to coming onto a forum to voice my opinion. I have lived in this wonderful neighborhood for over 25 years and I have seen it change drastically in that time. While some would say it has changed for the worse I say it has changed for the better. My only gripe is with the people who seem hell bent on trying to erase their life's sins by feeding the nasty population of pigeons at JJ Bryne Park. I have tried man many times but to no avail to try and talk to these individuals but they refuse to stop feeding these winged rodents. I explained to them that they carry vile diseases but this notion does not seem to sink in. Frankly, I grow tired of cleaning bird poop off my stoop where there is a tree where upon these vile creatures have set up shop. I don't even dare park my car under this tree unless I want it to be encrusted with bird fecal matter. Sadly I and a few other residents have taken it upon ourselves to try and control the pigeon population by sprinkling rat poison in the park where the bird feeders usually spread their bread banquet. We hope to use the very bird feeders to dispense our poison. We understand the dangers of this tactic but we are willing to accept the collateral damage to the surrounding innocent wildlife. It is after all for the greater good. My neighbor Mike has also implemented a way to get rid of the pigeons from the trees by our building. He basically has constructed a few bird feeders that would hang from the trees that would dispense water laced with anti freeze. The results have been quite remarkable. Although the pigeon numbers are decreasing we need to put pressure on the pigeon feeders to stop what their doing before the pigeon population explodes once again and we return back to square one.

I reach out to my fellow Park Slope residents and implore them to please stop feeding the birds until we can put a dent in the pigeon populace.

THANK YOU!

    Pigeons???

    Let the creatures live. They do no one any harm.

    if you really don't like them, contact sporting ranges outside of nyc and they'll could send someone over with nets and gather them up and use them for target practice.

    Once again you don't fail to amaze me. The original poster is inhumane and like usual armchair_warrior offers up some ridiculous advice. These are God's creatures who have every right to live. You says that we are better than they?

    No wonder humans do not evolve any further.

    Toxic, I have to agree that the pigeons are unsavory but I do not think genocide is the solotion. How about relocating them instead of killing them..Well?

    Wow so because you have a little bird shit around you feel its okay to lay poison out? I hope I don't hear about someone's kid or dog being poisoned because I damn sure will point them to this post.

    Wow dude. Get a life. Poisoning Pigeons? Dick Dastardly you are.

    You do know that what you are doing is illegal. I do hope the proper authorities catch on to your devilish deeds, incarcerate you and make you somebodies pigeon.

    In parting allow me to give you the bird ..|.,

    Despite your dislike of pigeons there is a huge issue with poising feeders in attempt to rid your neighborhood of, in all honesty, a minor inconvenience.

    First of all it is illegal to poison any migratory bird under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. http://www.fws.gov/laws/lawsdigest/migtrea.html In theory, any poison put out for pigeons could attract a number of other birds that could fall victim. The MBTA protects most domestic birds from human "interference".

    Furthermore the domino effect of poisoning pigeons and thereby other birds and mammals, creates a domino effect of killing off such protected species, including hawks, peregrines, sparrows, blue jays and even mallards. Obviously other birds can become poisoned by ingesting poison but hawks too can be killed by consuming poisoned birds and mammals. http://www.dnainfo.com/20110504/upper-west-side/evidence-suggests-rat-poison-killed-papa-hawk

    If anyone witnesses someone trying to put out poison of any kind please contact your local animal control office or the NY DEC. http://www.dec.ny.gov/

    Dear Pyrrhic Victory,

    Hi. What the fuck is wrong with you?

    Love

    What is wrong with me? Nothing! A better question is what is wrong with the people feeding these rats with wings. Do you think anyone wants to live in close proximity of these nasty creatures. I have been sprinkling poison among the bread crumbs for years and no one has ever said anything about it. My intentions is to rid the park of these winged rats in a humane manner. Even the poison I use is basically designed to kill the birds slowly so they actually die elsewhere. The poison is called "Tres Pasitos" and as my nanny told me it is designed to kill the rats where they sleep. One can buy the poison on the internet in bulk for a reasonable price. In this case I am using it on the fowl population hence the reason there are no bird corpses in the area. These birds usually die in their nests silently and humanely. No child need be traumatized by finding a dead bird.

    GOOD RIDDANCE!

    I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS TRUE!

    Why is this person not arrested yet? Here I was thinking the Sanitation Dept was responsible for the death of my cat and it turns out that this person(Pyrrhic Victory) is responsible for his death. Can the Admins help me by giving me his true identity?

    First pigeons and now cats. What is next, children? This person must be exposed and brought to justice.

  • whynot_31

    Lillith-

    no one believes it is true.

    As a bright guy, you especially do not believe it is true.

    All I am interested at this point is to get the information attached to the poster "Pyrrhic Victory". I am not interested in your lousy mental games so please leave me alone.

    Lillith, You probably don't frequent many message boards or online communities, if any. Hence, why people are replying in this way to your many odd posts within this *your first 5 hours* on the board. You realize you will not get any info on anyone's personal identity, right? Like every other message board out there.

  • whynot_31

    The cat can just look in the mirror to get his identity.

    Only then will he see as we all do.

    Mama, lillith is on many, many message boards.

    Cats with big heads are a staple of the Internet.

    Mamacita, I sent a message to the admin and i hope he can provide me with something. The more I read through this person's comments the more I am sure he is responsible for my cat's death. He should be held accountable and he should be arrested for murdering my pet. Just like the true coward that he is, Pyrrhic has not replied to any of my messages which further leads me to believe that he is the guilty party.

  • whynot_31

    There is no need to contact the mod, Vincentinthebay, lillith and prynic.

    Simply looking in the mirror should suffice

    A fellow poster just sent me a message with the below link with the message,"Here is you culprit(aka Pyrric Victory)". The sender of the message claims that since the time of the video (01/04/2010) the anti pigeon fellow has taken things to the extreme.

    This video quite possibly has the voice of the pigeon killer. If anyone recognizes the voice of the person on the video please message me with this information. The reason I ask for the information is because I believe this person is responsible for the death of my pet cat "Scrumbles". He fell violently ill after a walk at the local park and subsequently died of what my vet called accidental poisoning. Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

    Dear Pyrrhic Victory:

    Are you absolutely sure this poison provides a humane death? A humane death is one that occurs with minimal pain and distress. From what you say, this poison is slow acting, which would lead us to draw the conclusion that any pain the animal incurs is drawn out.

    So I must ask you, kind sir, to prove to us that this poison is humane. To do this I recommend you administer a moderate dosage to yourself, and let us know if it causes you a high amount of pain towards the final moments. If not, then carry on happily killing the pigeons. I suspect you will find however, that the poison will be quite painful.

    Cheers!
