Toronto's new pigeon control initiative includes ground-level feeders containing birth control, aiming for a 50% reduction in the city's pigeon population annually.
Dr. Esther Attard emphasized that providing contraceptive feeders is a humane alternative to traditional methods like trapping or poisoning, addressing public complaints effectively.
The pilot project, initiated in 2022, aims to allow pigeons to lay eggs without them being fertile, ensuring a gradual decrease in their population.
Downtown feeder placement responds to specific complaints about pigeons, as residents stated the birds interfere with enjoying public spaces and cause messes for businesses.
