We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Stop pigeons from roosting under railway bridges via humane methods. More details

Submitted by Andy Callaghan & Lauren Smith of The Wildlife Lodge – Deadline to sign up by: 07 May 2009 – Signatures: 96

More details from petition creator

Pigeons only choose to roost under railway bridges because the girders are not covered up properly. Old-style traditional netting does not work, as it becomes loose and birds can find their way in. Unfortunately, they cannot always find their way out again, and therefore become trapped and either die or become injured.

We are trying to get local councils to put up wood or concrete boards to completely cover up the girders. This will force pigeons and other birds to roost in a more natural habitat such as trees and woodlands. This, in turn, will reduce the number of birds becoming injured or killed, and reduce the droppings associated with railway bridges.

Please sign our petition, as everyone will benefit.
