AS a misguided individual, I would like to comment on the letter from A Todd, Harwood, regarding "flying rats" ie: pigeons.
All animals, including the human variety, harbour parasites - your dog, cat, rabbit, budgie, parrot, hamster, guinea-pig, horse and goldfish.
Your living room carpet and your place for slumber harbour parasites.
All forms of life have a purpose and a reason for their existence. The parasite included plays a role in the balance of nature.
As for your thoughts on the culling of the "flying rat" ie: pigeon, I can bring to mind the names of many earth-bound human rats that would top any list that you may produce.
In conclusion, can I assume that your favourite film of all time would not be "The Birds"?
