Anyone who has ever had their home invaded by pigeons --979 ArchivesI'm speaking from personal experience here -- will know that it's not exactly a pleasant occurrence.

Topping's thread continued with an attempt to move the birds along:

Here's hoping your home stays pigeon-free from now on, Lucy.
