Robot Birds
Liverpool city council
want to clear the city of fat pigeons. They say that that people are feeding
the birds, which makes them fat. The pigeons get bigger because their normal
diet would consist of seeds and insects, not high-fat junk food they are eating
in the city center.
The council want people
to know that everyone who feeds the pigeons is responsible for the streets
being so crowded with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move
away from the city center and into parks and open spaces.
Ten robotic birds have
been brought into the city center to scare the pigeons away and visitors are
asked not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds - known as
'robops' - will sit on the roofs of buildings. They can be moved around to
different locations. They look like a peregrine falcon, which is a bird that
kills pigeons. They even make noises and flap their wings to scare the pigeons.
They hope that the pigeons will go away before the city becomes the European
Capital of Culture in two years.
