Councilman Wants to Put New York Pigeons on Birth Control

Councilman James Odd in New York has a plan to reduce the number of pigeons at the Staten Island ferry terminals by putting them on birth control. He plans to use the drug called OvoControl-P, which makes the pigeon eggs unable to hatch. The drug would be mixed into regular seeds. The drug is not yet approved by the New York State Department of Environment Conservation.
