Why is feeding pigeons in public places not good for your health?
Hyderabad is facing a growing pigeon population problem. While pigeons are seen as symbols of peace and are often fed by locals, their droppings have become a nuisance, damaging historical buildings and creating health hazards. The GHMC previously captured and relocated pigeons, and now the HMRL is struggling to maintain cleanliness at metro stations due to pigeon nests and droppings. Experts warn that pigeon droppings carry dangerous microorganisms that can cause respiratory illnesses and fungal infections.03:09 PM Mar 03, 2025 IST
