The solution that residents are hoping for comes from Groningen. There was a test there with pigeons that were put on the pill. In other words: corn mixed with contraceptive. However, it does come with a price tag: about 10,000 euros per year. Local resident Pascal no longer cares so much, as long as the municipality does something to reduce the pigeons. “The poop is even in our attic. It came in like that, with the mechanical heating. That just drives you crazy.”
