McMillen said the bank hired an exterminator to handle its pigeon problem after a bird entered the bank and defecated on a customer.

Poor bird was just making a deposit...

A spotlight and a pellet gun after midnight would have been just as effective.

Death was sometimes an unfortunate side effect, company president Jarrod Horton said.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help to laugh at that statement.

""It was not the intention of the bank to harm any of these birds."

McMillen said the bank hired an exterminator to handle its pigeon problem after a bird entered the bank and defecated on a customer.

"

No, they didn't want to harm the roof rats. They wanted to EXTERMINATE them. Sounds like a good plan.

Sheesh! This happened in Texas!

The bank should have handed out shotguns with birdshot to "the children" and the festival would have been enjoyed by everyone!

I am sorry, but for some reason the thought of hundreds of pigeons falling from the sky just hits me as humorous. Obviously it is not, but it hits me that way.

What really pisses me off is the bozo's who go to the shopping centers by my house and supply them with huge amounts of stale bread and feed the problem.....

All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Every Sunday you'll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

Sing along HERE.

raining with pidgeons... hmm... I once worked for a bank on Whidbey island that had a problem with seagulls. Now THOSE are the real winged rats. They spent so much money on "solutions" to the problem, I should have changed my career from programmer to seagull exterminator specialist. Maybe I should have called Dale Gribble for some advice.
