It's not only the pigeons, it's also the seagulls

I apologise if readers think that I too am becoming obsessed with the subject of pigeons but I cannot resist this Evening News report about how the potential depredations of seagulls may prejudice the effective conduct of public affairs:

"Parliament officials refused to publish the report, by the Pigeon Control Advisory Service (PiCAS UK), despite a request under the Freedom of Information Act.
The entire contents of the report were blacked out when a copy was handed to the Evening News, on the grounds its publication could "prejudice the effective conduct of public affairs".
But the Evening News can reveal that the report contains nothing more shocking than an analysis of the bird problem at Holyrood and a series of recommendations, most of which the parliament has rejected.
In the report, the experts warned that the parliament building provided ideal nesting places for both pigeons and gulls.
They noted there was growing concern about seagulls in Edinburgh. And they warned: "Gulls could potentially pose a bigger problem than pigeons at the Scottish Parliament site."
But they added: "Fortunately the main problems associated with gulls, namely noise and aggressive behaviour when protecting their young, are generally limited to the breeding season between March and June."

What a load of guano!
