sandersj89 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6921979.stm Never knew they had woodies in the US! Still in town I can see this being a way to reduce the numbers of ferals.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 They don't I don't think Jerry, its to do with the unique way the BBC is funded. That is nobody could be bothered to find a proper picture so they just used one of a species not present on that continent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Thats not a woodpigeon in the picture on the website. The American "pigeons" are Rock Doves, or ferals. I'm sure there was publicity many years ago about feeding the Trafalgar Square/London ferals birth control pills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
