Trafalgar’s pigeon ban extended

Monday, September 10th, 2007

BBC NEWS | England | London | Trafalgar’s pigeon ban extended
Pigeons can no longer be fed anywhere in central London’s Trafalgar Square under a new law.

It has been illegal to feed birds in the main square since 2003, but protesters continued to feed pigeons and other birds on its north terrace.

That’s good, it might stop Save the Tralgar Square Pigeons from artificially feeding the pointless animal.
