>I love it! An old expression: "Help keep our city clean. Eat a pigeon every day!" Have you seen those statues of owls they sell to place on office buildings to keep pigeons away? For the first time, I saw a large group of pigeons gathered around such a statue. I think they were having a meeting and forgot they should be frightened of owls.

Yep, shooting the pigeons and eating them would certainly be more effective (but not very tasty, I bet). Birds can be pretty smart, playful & stubborn (I don't know about pigeons though). Trying to chase them off will probably make more of them show up! :)
