How dangerous are pigeons for city dwellers? Experts warn – Life & Style

In our cities today, people are seen throwing pigeons and sparrows on the side of the road. Many people sit on the road with rice and pulses. People buy seeds from them and feed them to pigeons, sparrows, crows and other birds.

Experts have warned that when feeding pigeons, it should be kept in mind that where pigeons have a lot of beet, breathing in such fungi can lead to a decrease in immunity.

It should also be kept in mind that being close to pigeons can also affect the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing.

Experts say that in areas where pigeons are fed regularly, their population starts to increase. Pigeons from other areas also come and settle there. If there are too many pigeons in an area, their batting can make breathing there very dangerous.

Experts also say that apart from cryptococcus and histoplasma present in pigeons’ feathers, toxic substances can spread in the environment. Broken feathers of pigeons can pollute the environment and cause breathing problems.

Experts advise that people who raise pigeons or feed them should wear masks and gloves.

Where pigeons are in large numbers and their bats are also lying there, one should not breathe for a long time.
