Letter: Got a problem with pigeons? Back off, they belong here

If you hate pigeons, maybe don't live in a city — that's this writer's advice.

Pigeons are a part of urban life in New Westminster, this writer says — so if you don't like them, maybe move.

Editor:

In response to the person who has an issue with pigeons, back off.

Pigeons are great. Timid compared to other birds, and their messes are minor compared to humans.

Pigeons are a part of city life. People who take issue maybe ought to think that maybe living in a city isn’t for the them.

Lastly, do you have nothing better to do than to pick on birds. There are much more real life issues that could use your passion better.

Teresa Chhina
