A pilot project to curb Brussels’ pigeon population by distributing contraception in the form of bird food has proven successful enough to be extended.
For decades now, Brussels' municipalities have been fighting against the scourge of urban pigeons.
Belgium’s New Kim has become Europe's most expensive racing pigeon, being sold at auction to an anonymous buyer from China for €1.6m ($1.9m, £1.4m).
Dozens of dead pigeons have been found twice in as many weeks in and around the little park at Place Fernand Cocq. The park is across the street from Ixelles’ town hall.
Brussels-City has started a trial project to try to control the pigeon population. It involves providing the pigeons with feed laced with a contraceptive.
Apparently the number of pigeons in Brussels is getting out of hand.
