Letter: Pigeons are a 'serious nuisance' in New Westminster

We need to address the pigeon problem before it becomes a health problem, this writer says.

Urban pigeons have become a nuisance in New Westminster — and we need to stop them before they become health problem.

Editor:

I think it is definitely time to address the pigeon problem in New Westminster before it becomes an actual health problem.

They make a serious mess on the streets, homes and cars as well as handrails along the Quay, picnic tables in the parks and outdoor restaurant patios all through our beautiful city.

Our building is currently installing pigeon spikes on our roof line, with hopes that will be a deterrent. A penalty should be imposed on those who insist on feeding them! They truly are a serious nuisance.
