Are they flying near dairy farms? They are often not welcome there. It is
becomming popular to have the state gys come and poisen the starlings and
pigeons for the sake of cow health. There are also bird traps set up. At
the farm I work at 200 pigeons were shot two years ago. We still haven't
regained the number of pigeons that were present in the past. Now when we
see a pigeon its generally too friendly. Not sure if they just stop to rest
and over eat to the point they can't fly off or what but its strange. We
don't kill them anymore unless they take up residence. Haven't seen any with
bands yet but I also wasen't there when the 200 birds were killed.
Just a thought.
