Pigeon in the Hamilton - don't look up!

Just in case someone gets 'bombed' from above.

Yes kids, there is a pigeon circling around the Hamilton seeking some tasty prey. Last night he was perched upon a window cill high in the Panoz Institute (siamese sister building to the Hamilton) and was hitting against the glass trying to get out. He then made his way, it seems, over to the Hamilton. Some say he enjoys nothing more than devouring an unsuspecting JF Science student.

Perhaps a clever scheme should be constructed to capture and set it free. What say ye?

P.S. for anyone who believes that small animals are incapable of killing ARMIES of men (and/or women), please see here. You have been warned.

I ****ing hate pigeons. Die, die, disease-ridden vermin.

That's horrible. I really hate birds. Especially birds that somehow make their way inside.

Spyrds?

But if you had more in there they could breed.

Stop saying that! Pigeons are disgusting, and the last thing the world needs is more of them.

...but they could breed. IN THE HAMILTON.

Think about it.

Replace 'pigeons' with 'all birds' and that's qft.

Remember that guy who used to sit in Stephen's Green and surround himself with pigeons? Like there'd literally be loads of them on him. It was pretty horrible.

That sounds like a nightmare of mine. Aaaahhhhhhhhh. Gross.

There used to be a robin in the Hamilton building that the cafeteria staff used to feed and leave water out for. About 3-4 years ago. Lovely little creature. Don't like pigeons but birds are lovely. A picture of me and my bird:

I like pigeons. They're smart enough to be able to take advantage of humans.

Then again, I love cats as well.

That's Conservation John. Makes up for Killer John. The swallow was released unharmed after putting a small tracking ring around its foot so its migratory movements can be catalogued.

Ick, there are too many pigeons around the Hamilton for my liking. Ick, ick, ick.

Are they still there?! I'm surprised biology students haven't surrendered to their guilty pleasures and cut them open.

Pet

Well not inside, but outside by the doors. Hovering around the bins, pecking at litter. Just generally being the filthy vermin they are.

Despicable creatures.

Edit: that reminds me, some dumbass woman was feeding a load of them in Fellows' square last week. Bint.

Haven't seen the little (diseased) fecker for a few days.
