Ukraine town considers using alcohol-coaked bread to get rid of pigeons
You can always count on those former Soviet nations to come up with innovative ways to do business. An official in the Ukraine city of Sumy has suggested a novel way to get rid of its pigeon population: get them drunk and ship them out of town. \"Let"s give them wine-soaked bread and then deport them,\" said Alexei Movchan, a local political leader.
The thinking was that the birds would wake up with a hangover and forget where they lived. Movchan came about with the idea as a way of saving the town's beloved statue of poet Taras Shevchenko from torrents of bird poop as officials prepare for City Day on September 2. Don"t they have BB guns in Ukraine? [Source]
