It is not that these men like birds less, but rather that they like the clean, austere architectural lines of municipal buildings more. And when the birds are city-bred' birds, far removed from the more idyllic settings nature provides for them, they can be a nuisance. Arouse Citizens Pigeons, it seems, not only have no manners, they have no regard for ordinary human cleanliness.

The city, as a policy, has nev er entered private property for pigeon abatement work and.

according to Dr. Hill, has no plans to do so now. It offers abatement advice, but that is hardly more than architectural protection." Allentown has a bird sanctu ary ordinance, which Dr. Hill considers ineffectual. He doubts if it applies to pigeons, since state law allows their destruc tion under approved humane conditions.

The physician feels one meth od of control should be a ban against indiscriminate feeding of the birds by the general pub lic. He especially opposes lit tering the ground with feed which he said attracts cats and other pests after dark. Dr. Hill also points but that studies have revealed where pigeons congregate, other birds will stay away. 'You 11 not find robins and pigeons, or blue birds and pigeons, for exam pie."
