Pigeon PatrolPigeons living on the third floor ohhh No!!!.

Gretna City Hall, built in 1907 to serve as the Jefferson Parish courthouse, is in need of critical repairs that the mayor and council members say will have to be made within the next few years.

On a recent walkthrough, she said, an official from the state Office of Facility Planning and Control looked at the council chamber’s variable air damper and said he had never seen one that old before.With many parts of the system dating back to the 1960s, the piecemeal approach to upkeep is expensive, and each solution is likely to create another problem. “You start fooling with these panels, they have carbon streaks, rust, corrosion … and before you know it, you destroy something else,” Folse said. He told the council there is evidence that pigeons are coming in and out of the building on the third floor.  New District 4 Councilman Jackie Berthelot called the building’s condition “deplorable.”

Man jailed five days for killing gull that stole pigeon feed

Man jailed five days for killing gull that stole pigeon feed

Pigeon PatrolOTTAWA — An Ottawa man will serve five days in jail for bashing a gull to death because it was stealing the seed he meant for pigeons in the ByWard Market last summer.

Keith Watt, 59, was sentenced Thursday in an Ottawa courtroom on a charge of causing distress to an animal.

Watt beat the bird on Aug. 27, 2013. It died of its injuries two days later.

“Violence against animals is not acceptable, no matter what the animal,” Bruce Roney, executive director of the Ottawa Humane Society, said in a statement. “This bird really suffered before dying from its injuries. We’re pleased the justice system has acknowledged that this act of animal cruelty is unacceptable to our community.”

According the Humane Society report of the case, Watt was feeding pigeons in the Market and got mad when gulls arrived and began to eat the food, too. One gull got close enough that Watt was able to grab it. The gull bit him.

Watt “responded by swinging the gull with what appeared to be full force against a brick wall.” He then tossed the badly injured bird over a nearby fence.

A witness reported the incident and the gull was taken to the Wild Bird Care Centre, where it died.

Watt was charged under the Ontario SPCA Act.

He was also put on probation for two years and is banned from owning an animal for five years. He must also pay the Humane Society’s court costs.

Pigeon WI-FI

Pigeon WI-FI

Pigeon PatrolSamsung have decided to try and improve on London’s internet access in public squares and parks by utilising the pigeons in the area. Donning micro-router packs, the London pigeons will create mobile Wi-Fi in the area. They’re super lightweight, water resistant and will not impede the pigeon’s flight at all.

The Senior Pigeon Engineer at Samsung further added: “Pigeons have a natural inbuilt GPS function called ‘homing’ and have hollow bones so they are natural conductors of electricity so can recharge the routers when they sit on telegraph wires. They are also non-migratory so we won’t lose signal in the winter.”

Samsung Fli-Fy is set to roll out across the UK should the scheme be successful. An app will be available on Google Play and Samsung Apps to help users check their connectivity.

Animal Support Helps Pigeons via Rescue & Adoption

Animal Support Helps Pigeons via Rescue & Adoption

Pigeon PatrolAnimal Support, co-founded by Dr. Michael Omidi and Julian Omidi, is a new supporter of MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue which saves domestic (unreleasable) birds that would otherwise be killed in San Francisco Bay Area animal shelters. In less than seven years, this volunteer-driven nonprofit has saved the lives of more than 600 birds with its avian vet care, foster home, and adoption services.

MickaCoo (http://www.pigeonrescue.org) is a network of volunteers working together to save the lives of domestic, unreleasable pigeons and doves that would otherwise be killed in shelters. Started in 2007 by Elizabeth Young, MickaCoo volunteers have saved the lives of more than 600 birds. Volunteers respond to calls from shelters, vets, and good Samaritans to provide avian vet care for ill or injured birds, long-term foster care, and place birds into qualified forever homes. MickaCoo serves the seven counties surrounding San Francisco.

At any given time, MickaCoo’s team of dedicated volunteers is generally caring for more than 100 birds. The organization rescues all types of pigeons and doves but most of its services benefit a domestic bird called a King Pigeon that is bred for eating (squab) and is sometimes mistakenly released at ceremonies or in a misguided effort to save their lives.. They are not able to survive on their own and have a life span of only hours to days in the wild.

Pigeon or Parrot you decide?

Pigeon or Parrot you decide?

Pigeon Patrol funny bird

Over the weekend a couple of peculiar looking pigeons were spotted. Are they parrots? Or are they both?  “I have never seen birds with this marking and have not been able to find anything about them online.  Or maybe a teenage pigeon got mad at mom and dad and rebelled by Manic Panic-ing her feathers? Or maybe these pigeons are just naturally cooler than the other pigeons?  Or maybe someone is breeding parrots with pigeons and one day our streets will be so colorful? Or maybe a human dyed them for an art project.

We’ve reached out to a local bird expert, as well as the Audubon Society for answers, and will update when we know more.Pigeon Patrol funny 2
