Liverpool city council want to clear the city of fat pigeons.
They say that that people are feeding the birds, which
makes them fat.
The pigeons get bigger because their normal diet would
consist of seeds and insects, not high-fat junk food they
are eating in the city centre.
The council want people to know that everyone who feeds
the pigeons is responsible for the streets being so
crowded with these birds.
They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the
city centre and into parks and open spaces.
Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city centre
to scare the pigeons away and visitors are asked not to
give the pigeons any food.
The mechanical birds - known as robots - will sit on the
roofs of buildings.
They can be moved around to different locations.
They look like a peregrine falcon, which is a bird that kills
pigeons.
They even make noises and flap their wings to
scare the pigeons.
They hope that the pigeons will go
away before
