Poll: Do you think there are too many pigeons in Gisborne?

Elesha Gordon from Neighbourly.co.nz

Pigeons — referred to by some as “winged rats” or “rats of the sky’’ overseas — are a major issue in the city and should be a council pest control responsibility similar to rats and mice.

Richard Jackson, a member of Emerald Hotel Body Corporate, told the Future Tairawhiti committee (all councillors and the mayor) the ‘‘pigeon problem’’ was so bad that Gisborne District Council, rather than building owners, should assume responsibility. The body corporate wants a ‘‘major cull’’ done by the district council this year, followed by an “annual maintenance cull’’. Read more from the Gisborne Herald here.
