At 7 o'clock in the morning today (13th), at a park location off Fanling Wai, Sheung Shui, a resident found 7 feral pigeons under a tree, including 5 under the tree and 2 under the vehicle, and called the police immediately.
Police officers arrived at the scene and initially checked that there were no obvious injuries on the pigeons, and some of the pigeons vomited green liquid.
It can be seen at the scene that there are red-stained rice grains left on the grass and the ground. Department personnel will inspect whether the rice grains are toxic.
In addition, the Leisure and Cultural Services signed a notice on the site of Fanling Wai Village Office, urging the public not to feed pigeons.
"I saw a group of birds and birds, so I felt so unusual, so I called the police!" The informant, Mr. Zeng, pointed out that when he was running nearby this morning, he found several wild pigeons killed under the tree.
On the nearby ponds and branches, wild pigeons were sluggish and motionless.
Mr. Zeng, who has been raising birds for more than 10 years, said that there are people feeding pigeons at the site from time to time. He feels suspicious about the collective death of wild pigeons this time.
The police temporarily classified the case as "animal carcass discovery". The AICA officers came to inspect the pigeon carcass. As for the pigeon carcass, it will be handed over to the AFCD for autopsy and examination. The case is still under investigation.

The Fisheries and Conservation Department intends to test the contraceptive pill for wild pigeons in two districts to feed corn grains for two years
According to information, the AFCD planned to launch a two-year "Feeding Feral Pigeon Contraceptive Test" project in Ma Tau Wai, Kowloon City and Hang Hau, Sai Kung. It hoped to control the breeding of feral pigeons and improve the nuisance problem of feral pigeons.
According to the document, the drug will decompose in the natural environment and will not have any obvious side effects on the bird itself, and the bird will regain fertility after stopping taking the drug.
The document also stated that the AFCD plans to launch a plan in June this year for a two-year period. The plan will send people to feed the wild pigeon contraceptives daily at selected test sites, and regularly monitor the wild pigeons after taking the contraceptives. To evaluate the effectiveness of the plan.
The relevant documents will be discussed in the district council meetings of the two districts next Thursday (18th).
According to the website of the Fisheries Conservation Department, a large number of wild pigeons not only cause environmental health problems, but also risk spreading diseases.
The department urged the public to "do not feed them at hand" because over-breeding of wild pigeons increases the risk of spreading diseases among the pigeons, causing them to lose their foraging instinct, being overweight or nutritionally imbalanced, and putting the pigeons at risk.
