Only a few involved, which is abnormal here because once something is fairly lucrative with guaranteed customers , normally everyone is at it. So it must be an absolute no no for anyone to encroach on their territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfokevin Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Sadly here in Chiang Mai it’s gotten worse...

Post a couple of tourist police at Thapae gate. Warn the Chinese tourists and arrest the bird food sellers. It's an enforcement issue at this point. Prayut and his boyz either need to enforce or stop the whining. This doesn't go away on its own. Just install a permanent tourist police booth in the square and get out and walk a beat. They're tourist police - they need to be more visible in heavy tourist areas anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak2002003 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Just fine and ban the Thai guys that have the couple of bird food stalls there. Problem over. But, that requires someone to do something, and maybe loss of face.... so they just gripe and moan about it and do nothing as usual as they don't want to cause any upset. Anyway, to me the street dog problem and rat problem are far worse and worthy of more concern and action than some pigeons. After all, I never heard of a pack of pigeons killing a child or savaging some passer by, and I recon the diseases spread by the rats (which are far more numerous than the pigeons) are much more dangerous to human health.

Sparkles Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Of all the problems in the country a simple solution to the pigeon problem can't be found or there is no will to do it. Driving past the other day there were at least 50 people feeding birds.Imagine you come for a holiday and pigeon feeding is a highlight with of course countless selfies.World has gone mad. .

oldrunner Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Those who study Pigeons have determined that their brains are the size of Peas, I suppose kindred folk with those feeding them. Growing up in the City we referred to Pigeons as FLYING RATS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go past Thapae Gate about twice a month. I see loads of Chinese tourist, loads of pigeons, bird-food hawkers on the peripheries, and no BIB anywhere in sight. That's the norm. If they are serious about getting rid of pigeons, then they need cops walking a beat in the center of the tourists and the birds all day until the hawkers disband, feeding stops, and the birds relocate.

nowhereman Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Pigeons ...well, it would take to much space on TV to explain everything. Here is the link for anyone interested in the particular world wide problem and I have a humble wish that PM would have the time ( and ability) to read it before spouting cleaver ideas. https://www.pigeoncontrolresourcecentre.org/html/reducing-pigeon-numbers-in-towns.html enjoy the reading ?
