Feeding the pigeons in your neighbourhood only encourages them to stay and breed. They will return to the same spot if fed. This leads to overpopulation and an unsightly mess.

Their droppings stain homes and public amenities. Pigeons also carry diseases that can be contracted by humans through contact with diseased live birds, their droppings and their carcasses. Those with lower immunity (e.g. children and the elderly) will be more vulnerable.

Leftover food scraps will attract more pests, like cockroaches and rats, that may carry diseases and pose a risk to public health.
