Pigeon Shyte
I heard on the Radio this morning that Network Rail has agreed to do something about the Pigeons that nest under the bridge at Hertford North - about time too.
At least it means JohnSmith (and others) will be able to walk to the station (and into town) without fear of being defaecated on by a winged rat.

Sounds like a job for Nora on her return from Gleneagles....
Seriously, though, are the pigeons under the bridge a particular problem?

Joby, take a walk under the bridge. It is disgusting. There is so much pigeon poo you wouldn't believe it. And it is all slimy. Yuck.
The council come and hose it away onec in a blue moon but two days later it is as bad as ever.
I think the risk of going a over t is highly likely. I'd hate to slip over on it.

god knows why they can't nest in trees like other birds. I'd quite like to see pigeon nets installed under the bridge.

On the way back from the pub last night, They were cleaning around the iron girders under the bridge at Hertford North Station. It also looked like they were putting up some sort of wire mesh up...... Lets hope its the End of the Shyte...!

Yes good news. Let's hope they can get the footpath on the west side of North Road netted quickly so that I can stop worrying about being shat upon in the morning & evening.

They were starting the west side last night at 9pm.
So hopefully when I travel to/from work tomorrow I will no longer have to run the gauntlet [:)]

The problem now is that they congregate on the streetlights. It is all rather reminiscent of the film The Birds.

why can't we just cull them? Pidgeons are no use to anyone and their sole purpose in life is to spread disease, fly straight at you because they're too lazy to change direction and obviously, to shat on your head when you walk under a bridge. KILL KILL KILL

Has anyone seen "24 Hour Party People" - the story of Factory Records? It's very tempting to do what Shaun Ryder (Happy Mondays) and his brother were alleged to have done in the early 80s.
