SilversnapplesNottinghams hotel Mercure is currently host to a building net full of dead pigeons & dying chicks who have no one to feed them.
Netting so horrendous multiple corpses hang decaying &broken inside it.
Email/call/shame them. Tell them you'll not be booking a room there until there is safety for wildlife to fly free. Imagjne holidaying alongside dead carcasses. Disgusting... cruel.
Remember the reason city pigeons exist and why they dont deserve to be maligned. Theyre not aggressive. They eat the shit we drop.. sadly even throw up which makes me want to vomit. They are used for homing hobbyists and get lost on their hundreds of miles journey enforced call to the place they were reared. How would we feel leaving our kids abroad and saying "find your way back so we can do it again!" Sigh.
I wish folk didnt hate pigeons. Stop calling them sky rats. They arent vermin. They deserve housing & safe spaces in cities and towns
Protect the Wild on Instagram: "Comment ‘bird’ and we will DM you the petition to @mercurenottingham asking that they permanently remove all bird netting. This type of netting is used to prevent birds from landing or nesting on buildings but the reality is it traps, starves and kills birds. It’s time to end bird netting."
