50.000 de porumbei fac probleme în capitala Austriei. Autoritățile caută soluții pentru controlul situației

Vienna is exploring solutions to manage a pigeon population of at least 50,000 due to complaints about dirt caused by the birds. Several districts are considering supervised shelters to control breeding and concentrate the birds. Currently, there are only four such shelters in the city. Plans are underway in various districts, including Alsergrund and Margareten, to establish new locations. The shelters aim to provide proper food and replace eggs with imitations to gradually reduce the population without culling. However, there is disagreement on how to feed the pigeons, with some advocating for specific types of food. Additionally, there are concerns about animal protection, as some pigeons have been found injured. The expansion of shelters faces challenges, including land availability and community approval.
