Their ability to thrive in urban environments makes them successful competitors, particularly when they have access to readily available food sources from humans."
"Feral pigeons can transmit diseases like cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, and psittacosis through their droppings. They can also carry bacteria that cause illnesses such as salmonellosis and campylobacteriosis."
When I see fb postings cherishing people who feed pigeons in the cities, I'm literally full of rage.
They are raising flying rats and banish other bird species gradually adapting to city life after destruction of their natural habitats. These ignorant individuals are helping spread dangerous infections in highly populated areas. They don't know how the world around them functions, and apparently don't even want to know.
False brainless kindness kills.
