A city in northeastern Ukraine is considering a plan to take on the local pigeons by getting them drunk on wine and deporting them, a local news website reported.
The radical measure was proposed to prevent a monument to poet Taras
Shevchenko in Sumy from being covered in bird droppings ahead of City
Day, Obkom.com.ua said on July 23. “Let’s give them wine-soaked bread and then deport them somewhere
where they’ll wake up the next day,” Alexei Movchan, who heads the city
branch of the ruling Party of Regions, was cited as saying about the
pigeons.
