5) Pigeons are being fed with insects and seeds.

READING PASSAGE

The Liverpool City Council wants to clear the city of fat pigeons – a kind of grey bird. They normally live in big cities. In Liverpool city centre, there are a lot of fat pigeons. The council says that people are feeding the birds. This makes them fat. The pigeons are getting bigger because they need to eat seeds and insects, not the junk food they are eating in the city centre, but people always feed them with junk food so they are getting fatter and fatter.

The council is telling people this: Because they are feeding the pigeons, a lot of pigeons are staying in the city centre. The council hopes to encourage the birds to move away from the city centre and into parks and open spaces. It means they want birds to go away from the city centre.

The answer is simple but a little bit expensive because robots will do the job. There are ten robotic birds in the city centre. They are scaring the pigeons away. The council also tells visitors not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds – knows as ‘robops’ – will sit on the tops of buildings. They can move around different places. They look like peregrine falcons. These are birds that kill pigeons. They are making noises and flapping their wings to scare the pigeons. They hope that the pigeons will go away soon because the city will be the European Capital of Culture in two years.
