Questions with many inquiries

Last Updated November 5, 2024

Q
1 A lot of crows are in trouble.
A

1 If you remove the cause of crows gathering, you may not be able to gather. Many are caused by garbage that can be used as food and the food of left unattended pets. Please consult with the owner or manager of the place where the crows are gathered. For more information, please refer to the following page.

Q
2 There are people who feed pigeons in parks, etc., which is annoying.
A

2 If pigeon feeding is repeated for a long period of time, the number of pigeons will increase, and the place where pigeons gather will become dirty by dung and feathers, making it impossible to play and relax. If there is a significant obstacle to the use of many people in public places such as roads and parks, please consult the owner or manager of the place where feeding is being performed.

In addition, about removal of nests such as imminent park and street tree, telephone pole, please talk with the next manager.
