Pigeon lovers in Britain think they have a way to keep the nation's growing population of peregrine falcons from making an after dinner snack of their prized pigeons.
The groups are planning to spray their pigeons with a spray or feed them food to cause them to leave a bitter taste in the peregrines' beaks. While they acknowledge the proposed spray may affect the aerodynamics of their beloved birds, they feel there are few choices to stop the predatory falcons' raid on their pigeons.
My proposed solution: remember, peregrine falcons allegedly taste just like chicken.
But the animal rights folks won't like that.
