French authorities are enlisting
five birds of prey to scare off pesky pigeons in the City of Lights this
weekend — a new scheme that’s ruffling the feathers of thousands of Parisians.
Rémi Féraud, mayor of the trendy
10th arrondissement, plans to bring in two hawks and three falcons for 10 days
starting October 7 to scare the pests, according
to The Local France.
“Paris pigeons are not used to
birds of prey,” a spokesperson for the town hall said. “We tried traditional
methods and now we are doing something more radical.”
The plan is for the birds of prey
to fly over where pigeons gather around Rue du Buisson Saint-Louis and scare
them into moving.
