Pigeons living on the third floor ohhh No!!!.
Gretna City Hall, built in 1907 to serve as the Jefferson Parish courthouse, is in need of critical repairs that the mayor and council members say will have to be made within the next few years.
On a recent walkthrough, she said, an official from the state Office of Facility Planning and Control looked at the council chamber’s variable air damper and said he had never seen one that old before.With many parts of the system dating back to the 1960s, the piecemeal approach to upkeep is expensive, and each solution is likely to create another problem. “You start fooling with these panels, they have carbon streaks, rust, corrosion … and before you know it, you destroy something else,” Folse said. He told the council there is evidence that pigeons are coming in and out of the building on the third floor. New District 4 Councilman Jackie Berthelot called the building’s condition “deplorable.”

OTTAWA — An Ottawa man will serve five days in jail for bashing a gull to death because it was stealing the seed he meant for pigeons in the ByWard Market last summer.
Keith Watt, 59, was sentenced Thursday in an Ottawa courtroom on a charge of causing distress to an animal.
Watt beat the bird on Aug. 27, 2013. It died of its injuries two days later.
“Violence against animals is not acceptable, no matter what the animal,” Bruce Roney, executive director of the Ottawa Humane Society, said in a statement. “This bird really suffered before dying from its injuries. We’re pleased the justice system has acknowledged that this act of animal cruelty is unacceptable to our community.”
According the Humane Society report of the case, Watt was feeding pigeons in the Market and got mad when gulls arrived and began to eat the food, too. One gull got close enough that Watt was able to grab it. The gull bit him.
Watt “responded by swinging the gull with what appeared to be full force against a brick wall.” He then tossed the badly injured bird over a nearby fence.
A witness reported the incident and the gull was taken to the Wild Bird Care Centre, where it died.
Watt was charged under the Ontario SPCA Act.
He was also put on probation for two years and is banned from owning an animal for five years. He must also pay the Humane Society’s court costs.

Is downtown Glenwood going to the birds?
Not if downtown businesses help pay half of a contract to exterminate the large number of pigeons that have made their homes in downtown buildings.
Glenwood City Commissioners last week reacted to complaints about the growing number of pigeons living downtown and approved a motion to pay half of the cost of a licensed exterminator, if downtown businesses would pay the other half.
The total cost of an exterminator is about $3,000, so downtown businesses will be asked to come up with about $1,500. The commission directed city staff to write a letter seeking donations from downtown businesses.
The birds are becoming more of a nuisance in the area each year and city officials and police officers have been getting numerous complaints about the issue, according to Glenwood Police Chief Dale Danter.
Danter said he has spent a considerable amount of time researching options the city could pursue to reduce the pigeon population. “The only real option is to hire a licensed exterminator,” he told commissioners. He added that he did research the viability of shooting some of the birds or trapping them, but recommended hiring the exterminator.
“Shooting has become very complicated and it really isn’t a viable option for the city at this time,” he added. “And trapping [the birds] is very labor intensive and would require a lot of time by city workers and police officers.
Commissioner Sherri Kazda said she was in favor of paying half the cost, but said the city should not enter any contract until the money is raised.
“It’s unfortunate that we even have to do this,” she said.

Samsung have decided to try and improve on London’s internet access in public squares and parks by utilising the pigeons in the area. Donning micro-router packs, the London pigeons will create mobile Wi-Fi in the area. They’re super lightweight, water resistant and will not impede the pigeon’s flight at all.
The Senior Pigeon Engineer at Samsung further added: “Pigeons have a natural inbuilt GPS function called ‘homing’ and have hollow bones so they are natural conductors of electricity so can recharge the routers when they sit on telegraph wires. They are also non-migratory so we won’t lose signal in the winter.”
Samsung Fli-Fy is set to roll out across the UK should the scheme be successful. An app will be available on Google Play and Samsung Apps to help users check their connectivity.

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
