The control of the population of pigeons through contraceptive methods in Barcelona

Abstract

The City Hall of Barcelona has decided to put into practice the use of contraceptive methods to control the pigeon population, as a consequence of the initiative presented in the framework of the Permanent Commission of the Municipal Council for Coexistence, Defense and Animal Protection. In particular, the Administration will use the contraceptive known as Nicarbazin, which first acts on younger pigeons, to control the population.
