The airborne intruders were found inside Poundland on St Stephens Street just before opening time on Saturday morning.
Armed with bottles of water and a mop, staff were seen pitching in to get the pigeons out, according to one eyewitness, before they opening the store with a warning to customers.
Photography student Zak Nelson, 18, was waiting for a bus as the spectacle unfolded.
He said: “There was a commotion in the shop and I could see shop staff running around, then two pigeons flying into the window.
The pair of pigeons were found inside Poundland on St Stephens Street just before opening time on Saturday morning.
“I couldn’t believe what was happening. There was a member of staff with a mop, and others had bottles of water, maybe to splash the birds.”
The shop opened just after 8.30am, when Mr Nelson went in to take these photograhs.
“They warned us they had a couple of pigeons in the shop
“Some of the customers ignored them completely, some were watching on in disbelief, and some were laughing.”

Animal Support, co-founded by Dr. Michael Omidi and Julian Omidi, is a new supporter of MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue which saves domestic (unreleasable) birds that would otherwise be killed in San Francisco Bay Area animal shelters. In less than seven years, this volunteer-driven nonprofit has saved the lives of more than 600 birds with its avian vet care, foster home, and adoption services.
MickaCoo (http://www.pigeonrescue.org) is a network of volunteers working together to save the lives of domestic, unreleasable pigeons and doves that would otherwise be killed in shelters. Started in 2007 by Elizabeth Young, MickaCoo volunteers have saved the lives of more than 600 birds. Volunteers respond to calls from shelters, vets, and good Samaritans to provide avian vet care for ill or injured birds, long-term foster care, and place birds into qualified forever homes. MickaCoo serves the seven counties surrounding San Francisco.
At any given time, MickaCoo’s team of dedicated volunteers is generally caring for more than 100 birds. The organization rescues all types of pigeons and doves but most of its services benefit a domestic bird called a King Pigeon that is bred for eating (squab) and is sometimes mistakenly released at ceremonies or in a misguided effort to save their lives.. They are not able to survive on their own and have a life span of only hours to days in the wild.

The low score the restaurant had been given was clearly a nonsense. I’ve been in there and you could eat your dinner off the floor. It also has a legion of fans, who leapt, like a cartoon dog at a plate of sausages, to the defence of said establishment, many of them completely failing to grasp that this newspaper doesn’t carry out inspections. Inspectors do.
And they carry out inspections on everybody, and we print them, because that’s the point of inspections. Surely there’s no point in doing them if they are then kept secret? Indeed, in South Wales it is compulsory for restaurants to stick a sign up stating their rating. But I do have a lot of sympathy for anyone who, in their daily life, has to deal with government inspectors. These are beings who, no doubt overloaded with work, do things literally by the book. Which means that if you have checked your raw meat’s internal temperature every two hours for six months but haven’t written it down somewhere, then they’re going to string you up, but if you haven’t checked it but have made up some numbers, you’re fine.
And if you are having a new extractor fan fitted when the inspector calls, but haven’t shut down your business for a fortnight to do it, then you might as well be serving botulism in a bun, with a side order of salmonella.
Did you know that schools are so petrified of Ofsted marking them down that they now carry out secret “mocksted” examinations? Where former Ofsted inspectors and teachers are employed at considerable expense to descend upon schools to see how unprepared teachers will perform under pressure?
The latest price increase will cost my business around £2,500 over the course of a year

2011, the hospital brought in specialists from NBC Bird and Pest Solutions because the number of pigeons had increased since the building was revamped.
The firm’s bird handlers now bring the birds of prey to the site about three times a week. Duncan Jones, marketing manager for NBC Bird and Pest Solutions, said: “They are used as a predatory deterrent to keep pigeons away. Rather than culling or trapping the pigeons, which could kill them, this is a wildlife friendly way to keep them off the site.
“The pigeons quickly determine that there is a predatory presence in the area and leave.”

Over the weekend a couple of peculiar looking pigeons were spotted. Are they parrots? Or are they both? “I have never seen birds with this marking and have not been able to find anything about them online. Or maybe a teenage pigeon got mad at mom and dad and rebelled by Manic Panic-ing her feathers? Or maybe these pigeons are just naturally cooler than the other pigeons? Or maybe someone is breeding parrots with pigeons and one day our streets will be so colorful? Or maybe a human dyed them for an art project.
We’ve reached out to a local bird expert, as well as the Audubon Society for answers, and will update when we know more.

It’s not something you expect to see while you’re sipping on your morning latte.
A hawk has been spotted prowling the platforms at Paddington station.
The bird of prey, which is known for its sharp eye and ruthless hunting ability, was seen being carried on the glove of a station worker in west London.
National Rail has employed the animals, which generally feed on smaller creatures such as mice and squirrels, to scare off pigeons.
The birds are currently visiting Paddington about three times a week but are always tethered to their handlers and fed before their shift.
A National Rail spokesperson said: “The hawk’s presence scares [pigeon’s] off. They’re there not to kill, but to scare them. Only in extreme circumstances would we kill a pigeon.
“Although pigeons are lovely birds, they are a menace because their droppings are unhygienic.”
