Pigeon Droppings Cause Shutdown of Road
Pigeons’ Preferred Perch Plagues Pavement With Poop

A local road was partially shut down Tuesday night as crews worked to clean up massive amounts of pigeon droppings from under an overpass.
Brownsboro Road beneath Interstate 265 was down to one lane in both directions from 6:30 until 10 p.m. Tuesday.”We just have some areas where the pigeons roost a lot and the bird droppings, they start to mound up. They build up quite a bit,” said Andrea Clifford, a spokeswoman for the Kentucky Department of Highways.

We get complaints about it and go out and do it,” Clifford said.
