I am happy that the Rock Pigeon (normal urban pigeons) didn't survive. Even though you used your good heart.
Well, you can call me a pigeon hater if you like
Some people hate having those animals attack the place they call home
Turn up your volume, and listen to the sounds. Now imagine being forced to listen to this noise in your bed for hours.
Also, imagine trying to have a good nights sleep, knowing that the ticks (argas reflexus) and the bedbugs will bite you in the night when it is dark, and hide in your walls during the day. Night is feeding time. And the food is right in your bed. You!
Also imagine that you must keep windows closed on a warm summer day, otherwise the pigeons, which are right outside, would enter your apartment.
I am so very glad I moved from my apartment. What started as luxury gradually turned into a nightmare as more and more birds infested the buildings in the neighbourhood.
And then there are the evil humans (supposedly with good hearts?) who cause this suffering for other people. All while "rescuing" pigeons.
Some people should get convicted for that.
But of course those people with a good heart (towards pigeons) don't know how evil they are towards other humans. Ultimately making other people hate being terrorized by the birds so much.
When pigeons decide that your home is their home - your house is doomed! Even if you capture them, and release them in the nature, they will find home. To your home! You will need more than good luck in evicting those squatters from your home!
