Paris has started a war against pigeons. The city authorities say the birds are invading the city and their population is growing too fast.
Feeding pigeons is illegal in France. Paris authorities say pigeons are invading Paris. They estimate there are now about 80,000 of them.
The authorities have put up pigeon coops across the city. The birds are encouraged to nest in them and once a week their eggs are sterilised.
However, some Parisians say these pigeon abortions are cruel.
