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.

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.

Safety should come first!
Britain’s shooters must try to shoo away some birds before they can be shot for damaging crops, according to new plans from the Government’s wildlife advisers.
- Those breaking the rules could face six months in jail or a £5,000 fine
At present, if farmers have a problem with pigeons or crows eating wheat or stealing chickens’ eggs, they can decide the best option is to shoot them. They only need to be ‘satisfied’ that scaring or other measures such as netting would be ineffective or impracticable before reaching for the gun.
But officials from the Government’s wildlife advisers Natural England now want to ensure that other methods are tried before farmers shoot.
Under their proposals, it would be a legal requirement for licensed gun owners to take ‘reasonable and appropriate steps’ such as ‘scaring’ to resolve any problem before resorting to firearms.
The new rules are included in a shake-up of the General Licence, which allows licensed gun owners to kill pests such as magpies, crows and rooks.
Simon Clarke, of the British Association of Shooting and Conservation, said: ‘What are we supposed to do – go out in bright shiny clothes, waving our arms and making a lot of noise before shooting? And who is going to wander round fields checking whether every pigeon-shooter has tried to scare away the pest birds before shooting?’
‘For example, many farmers will use gas-guns or scarecrows to deter birds. However, this is often not wholly effective and lethal control will also be necessary. This is appropriate as the farmers are clearly doing everything reasonable and practicable.’

Pigeon Patrol has cleaned up several bridges and know how this city feels:
WICHITA, Kan. -Eric Wittman walks to work from his downtown Wichita apartment. He passes under the Douglas Street bridge twice a day. “It’s filthy. It’s dirty. I’ve been hit by pigeons,” said Wittman.
Wittman says the pigeons are causing a stinky problem in the underpass. “They’ve pooped on me twice.”
That’s why he and many other downtown residents want to see some upgrades to the area.
Wittman says people choose to drive between the two areas.
“I think if you were able to get rid of the pigeons, lighten it up, make it feel safe, I think a lot can be done to make this a place that people would want to travel,” said Wittman.
Some of the most popular ideas for the upgraded underpass include interactive LED lighting and event promotions.
