Canada and the USA are not the only places that have problems with pigeons.
Pigeon Patrol found out in this story that just walking under a bridge in Leatherhead has become a health hazard because of the pigeon mess collected beneath it, according to a concerned resident.
A large number of the birds nest in the railway bridge over Guildford Road, causing excrement to build up on the pavement beneath.
Cobham Road resident Tim Albert, 66, told the Advertiser that, as a result, walking into town had become a misery.
“My concerns are on two levels – firstly it is extremely slippery, you have to walk very carefully. Secondly, there must be a health hazard. We hear more and more about bird flu now. It just seems unnecessarily unnecessary.
“The council did come and clean it two weeks ago but two weeks later it’s just as bad as it was. It’s completely unhygienic and it’s gross to walk through. When it’s raining it is even more slippery.
“It’s like skiing when you go through. You can’t walk into the road because of the cars. There’s a lot of houses up there and there’s no other route into Leatherhead.
“Every so often people get bombed on. It’s a rotten way to start your commute, to walk through this pigeon dirt.”
Chris Townsend, the leader of Mole Valley District Council (MVDC), explained that anti-pigeon netting had had to be removed from the bridge because it was found to be deteriorating and had caused birds to die after becoming entangled.
“In the meantime, we have stepped up the frequency of inspections and cleaning to minimize the impact for local residents, while we will ensure that a long-term solution is found.

Pigeons can carry a number of different diseases ranging from salmonellosis, tuberculosis and ornithosis. While there is debate in the scientific community as to whether or not pigeons can directly pass these diseases to humans the potential risk cannot be ignored.
Pigeons, aside from their threat to humans and domestic animals through disease, their droppings, nesting materials and dead carcasses can cause mite and insect infestations which create further hazards for humans and domestic pets.

Pigeon Patrol releases this breaking story:
A number of panicked Russians have contacted the authorities to report concerns over the bizarre behavior of pigeons in Moscow.
Locals have dubbed the birds “zombie pigeons” after a strange change in their behavior swept the city – leaving the birds extremely lethargic and seemingly fearless.
Moscow resident named Umid said: “When a person walks past them, they used to fly away. But now they just sit there in a kind of funk and don’t even pay attention to you. They’re just not normal.” Umid went on to say: “I’ve seen some pigeons behaving very strangely, turning around in circles”.
Officials have dubbed the birds “the pecking dead” branding the epidemic a “bird apocalypse”.
One other resident reported a pigeon losing its balance and falling through an open window frame, while others described birds resting their beaks on the ground or walking round and round in circles.
For the time being, locals are advised to stay away from any pigeon that is behaving strangely and to call the local authorities if they come across a dead bird.
