Poll: Do you think there are too many pigeons in Gisborne?
Pigeons — referred to by some as “winged rats” or “rats of the sky’’ overseas — are a major issue in the city and should be a council pest control responsibility similar to rats and mice.

The body corporate wants a ‘‘major cull’’ done by the district council this year, followed by an “annual maintenance cull’’. Read more from the Gisborne Herald here.
