January 10, 2019: Yup — happened recently in Cadiz, Spain — where city officials “relocated” over 5000 messy, pesky pigeons to an undisclosed location over 500 miles away from their city. City officials call their pigeons “flying rats” and now plan the relocations as an annual event.  London now fines anyone seen feeding a pigeon $500. Hopefully the Spanish birds are happy in their new isolated mountain home?
