Flying rats my dad calls pigeons! my next door neighbour has started feeding the birds mealworms etc....but now we have big magpies/and pigeons coming, pooing all over my washing and conservatory windows, of course they go and coo coo to their friends and we have more! 3 people have now had to have the rat man up ! I have lived here 15 yrs and never seen a rat, but recently there has been sightings of a daddy rat [confused[ and yes I know someone will say "well your always within a few yards of a rat, but it seems a bit of a coincidence that after 15 yrs we are suddenly having a problem with them,that combined with the rabbit food next door is n't good! also in our town center you could't go and buy something to eat and sit on the benches without the pigeons round your ankles! they have now put BIG notices up saying PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE PIGEONS" but it's obvious some can't read, which may be true!
