County board works to keep pigeons away

ODESSA, Texas (AP) — Ector County commissioners are deciding how to get rid of pigeons believed to be raising a stink at the county courthouse in Odessa.

They are considering proposals for “bird exclusion services.”

The droppings from the pigeons are believed responsible for a noxious smell in the county clerk’s office.

The Odessa American reports the pigeon poop gets cleaned regularly and commissioners now are looking to consider proposals to keep the birds away.
