Expensive Pigeon Birth Control Is Stupid on a Stick

In the pantheon of stupid, this one gets its own room -- pigeon birth control. 

If you have 150 pigeons that you need to "control," you are supposed buy a "feeder kit" at a cost of $190, and then spend $8.70 a day ($190 a month) on birth control bait and, after a year, you have half as many pigeons

I am pretty sure Tom Lehrer would have found this hysterical.

Don’t know Tom Lehrer?  He’s a joy.

My first thought, is that the birth control hormones will move up the food chain. Specifically, the peregrine falcon, Goshawks, and Cooper's, and even other raptors such as urban red-tailed hawks and owls at night that feed upon pigeons as a primary prey item.
