Do you honestly believe all do not like pigeons? I would guess many have either spoken to or know someone who has and met a little hitler type fancier. The sort who says you cannot let your kids play in their own garden, why you hanging your washing out I have pigeons etc. I would hate to live near such a fancier.Oh and the bad mouthing and poor sportsmanship we experience is enough to put any bystander off pigeons. As to the pigeon droppings on their cars etc I think they need to open their eyes and see the wild birds that do this all the time. I accept some times a pigeon will but very rarely. I just say this to you it takes all sorts to live live together and you need to realise this too. MJB
