Why aren't they killing the hundreds of thousands of disease-ridden pigeons? Why not the millions of starlings that are wiping out native wildlife?http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_112607_news_yacolt_parakeets.41478bef.htmlThis is perfectly typical human behavior, of course. Save the trash birds but destroy the intelligent cool ones..
and one of the dumbest parts is that in that survey, "yes" is only 10% less than "no"..
Pigeons aren't "disease ridden". They pose no threat to humans, and known for being low-risk in carrying West Nile and Avian Flu. Do your research before you post statements like that.
>>185693Fuck yeah, rock dove!
They should ask /k/ on how to deal with them.
>>185776This would cause more power outages.
I'm kind of curious how the parakeets can even survive in washington with the cold weather and birds of prey about
my area has lots of sparrows and other small birdsi'm not sure how they got rid of all the doves, despite there being plenty of small trash to feed on
>>185693Yeah, except you forgot about:HistoplasmosisChlamydiosisSalmonellosisCampylobacterosisAvian paramyxovirus type 1YersiniasListeriasGiardiasisEnjoy your horrible bacterial infection.

>>186113Fun fact: Your shit(aka fecal matter) consists of 50% bacteria on average.
>>186124fun fact: fun fact is bullshit
>>186124lol no, idiot.
pigeons carry plaguesstarlings are plagues
>>185316I have one of them "monk Parakeets" or Quaker Parrots like in OP's pic...Very cool bird...Never though birds had any personality until we got her...(boy was I ever wrong)On a seperate note anyone ever hear of the passenger pigeon?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_Pigeon
>>186177so pigeons carry starlings? how bout coconuts do they carry them too o.O?
>>186113Yes, but not all of the ones listed. Also, not all of them shit randomly all over places where you are likely to come in contact with it or in such quantities or in such concentrations.
We've got those parrots in my neighborhood.Boy, it sure is fun to wake up to the horrible squaking noises they make in large groups.
